Count me in.

I'm within spitting distance of MM (a few more months of flying), and am a little worried about dilution of benefits for MM, given how long it as taken me to get there.

My chief requirement is that I be able to fly to the West Coast on a day flight, and not just a red-eye. AA has a day flight non-stop to LAX at about the same time as UA does (albeit on a 757 and not a 767). (SFO is a connection through HNL or LAX, but still a day flight).

It has been may years since I've flown AA, and never in a premium cabin. If I could get comped status as part of this group, it would let me compare apples to apples.
