Same thing for me... My A List expired 12/31 like most of you, I have maintained A+ Elite through 2/28/2014, so I'm hoping not be left by the side of the road...
I am in ATL and fly often to MCO, LGA and MKE and my best bet is AirTran still (for now)... And since I fly with a pet often, I'd rather not pay $100 more on DL...
