I suspect all the airlines will be doing things to make it easier to qualify for status over the next few years. I was flying UA for work after (and before) 9/11 and they were being pretty generous with the FF program, including comping me up a level a few times, unsolicited. This has been harder on the airlines than 9/11 and the remote conferencing alternatives are much better now than they were. It's likely that there's some amount of permanent conversion to remote meetings, so it will take them longer to get back to where things were. In the meantime they'll be offering as many inexpensive soft benefits as possible to get people onto their aircraft, including easier mileage earning if it helps attract people over. And I'll be enjoying the reduced ground traffic into LAX.
