Now I kind of feel bad for not getting AS status this year even though I would've at least gotten gold if I had banked a majority of my flying. Kind of but not really.

Not sure what happened here?? Like many others who drop in status, you booked a flight for 2016 while you were still 75K so you could be on the waitlist for F and you're surprised that you got upgraded to F? Isn't that why you booked the flight before 2016 in the first place?
