Then, in order to take advantage of my new-found eleite status... I flew 14k miles in 2016. A combination of all travel being eliminated, then eventually my job being eliminated, left me well short of even reaching MVP status. Now I started a new job with lots of travel and now have to experience things I haven't experienced in a decade. Change fees. no early boarding. Gasp - COACH. I'm hoping AS reaches out to me with some sort of challenge, but in the meantime, I'll be in the back of the bus fighting over the last picnic pack.
my thoughts....

if you had 10 yrs of status and didn't make status this year in part due to your unemployment period, but you know you got hired and will fly again I would reach out to the corporate customer service level and basically email them like you did on here and see what they do.
