IDK re free baggage, assume not as it would get picked up at the check in (or bag drop if OLCI).
But as to comp u/g and 25% RDM bonus, as it would be a couple of months after expiry giving time for the system to reset, I would only have to assume that "computer says no".
The upside for this FTer is that with one TATL already being flown in May, they will be almost 50% on their way to regaining status for the rest of the year and through Feb 2013.
@ OP Brian - if you are going to be flying more in 2012 and would appreciate gaining status for next year for that reason, think about getting a card that gives bonus MQMs. With your 1 TATL plus the bonus MQMs, you would nearly be there.
