It seems that I managed to post in this thread TWICE without actually reading the OP. I have a couple corrections.

If the revenue passenger can not go then the companion passenger can not go. The T&C of the companion fare is that the companion must travel with the revenue passenger. Changes can be made by calling AS but change fees apply. Changes can NOT be done on-line ($75) which may result in the phone call ($100) unless the tickets were booked in full fare or first class.
If the companion passenger can not go, the revenue passenger can still go. If you want to use the companion certificate another time, a call has to be made to AS.
Name changes are allowed but must be called in for change and is subject to phone change fee($100).
Changes can now be made online.

Since the companion ticket is dependent on the revenue ticket, the status flyer should be the companion fare unless the tickets are in full fare or first class. Why? If the companion traveler can not fly the companion coupon can be saved for future use. The status passenger is allowed to make changes at no charge.
I dont know that I agree with this. If NO ONE is able to go, its better to have the gold attached to the larger amount of money.

This isn't true. It makes no difference whether the Gold is the primary or companion.
