I called the AAdvantage Desk, one CSR said I would qualify. I was a little surprised of her certainty, so I called back to be sure... and a different CSR said I would NOT qualify... stating that flying to earn Platinum Pro doesn't start till 2017.

Does anybody know the answer? I don't want to make the effort to push for 90 segments if it doesn't earn me PlatPro status for 2017.
You can not qualify for Platinum Pro through earnings during 2016.
