Likewise, a drop to Silver for me in year 3 is another good reason as long as I take my 4 'BA' flights.
I wonder if I'll be in that position in a few years time! I have 2 trips planned to Australia so exit seats are really beneficial to me in Y.
I think you should go for it - and I'd say it is pretty normal. From normally making silver (and gold with some effort) I seem to now be on course for CCR in January. Seems like it never ends... On a recent SkyTeam flight I was annoyed not to have Platinum with them...
