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.
Note that if you try to credit this flight to AA as well, AS will kick you back to Y. You're going to need to credit to AS to keep the upgrade.
