Regardless she'll be a MM post-merger so won't drop below Gold, but she's wondering if she can basically "postpone" 1K for a year (probably can't extend SWUs or anything, but maybe defer 1K). I'm guessing the answer is "no way", but curious.

Thanks for any insight into this.
US wouldn't "postpone" CP for me (earned CP by an extremely long shot, and then flew a grand total of 4 segments the next year on US), but they did soft-land me to Gold and then to Silver in the years following that.

UA extended me to 1K without asking in the same time frame for an extra year in which I didn't fly at all, and then soft landed me to 2P. (Maybe more like hard landed?)
