Seems like a destructive promotion, has me quite upset that people that fly less than me will have a much easier path toward ExPlat, giving me more competition for the complimentary upgrades. I fly some crazy routings to insure that I hit 100K, I resent that someone can get the same benefits as me by flying only 25K. Not smart to alienate your best customers when you've just lost over $900 million in a single month and are going to lay off over 10K employees.
The people get just under 4 months to fly 25k miles. Anyone able to do that can probably do 100k in a year. This is the reason the challenges exist, so that people who already fly x number of miles can move it all to AA, and get a headstart on having the status they expect as someone who flies that frequently.
