Hopefully I can grin and bear kettle class for the balance of 2014 till I get at least first level status on AA (I've got a business class trip to DEL via LHR on BA in July that should help quite a bit).

Probably will say good bye to about 700K lifetime miles and need to really burn up a goodly number of my UA miles.

Call AA about a status match or challenge. It varies with time but they matched me at Platinum (second level) when I was a 1K. If you can get that BA trip included in a challenge you will get status more quickly.
