"Dear Ian,

It's our pleasure to assist our valued AAdvantage Platinum® members.
Thanks for contacting us here at AAdvantage® Customer Service.

At this time we are not making any elite exceptions for the 2017
membership year, we do encourage you to continue flying to earn the
status. If you still fall short of the Executive Platinum
qualifications, we'd be happy to discuss any options we have available
closer to the end of the year.

We are eager to serve you at the elite level you desire. Keep up the
great work!

Regards"
Very helpful - this is the answer I was unfortunately expecting, but glad to know the current official response.

I do like the idea of asking for an MCE seat; I may give that a shot. If I do I'll post here with results.
