Wrote in explaining why I barely missed 50K a few weeks back, and got a reply saying that my account had been reviewed, and from April, I'd be able to choose my E50K package. AC said that given my history as a consistent E or SE for years, clear intent to fly AC in reaching the 50 segments, and changes to the program giving *G only at 50K, I'd be given the status.
AC and I have an ongoing love/hate relationship....right now, it's love....next time I'm waiting for a flight to YYC that has been "just about ready to go" for 4 hours, it'll be hate again.
