I’m not a low level status holder. I don’t travel enough for work to get to higher levels.

the issue I have now with airlines is the devaluation. With other airlines I see the only way I could get status by flights is by leg/ segment count without a fare purchase requirement.

i really liked status when it was partner with delta and American.

living in the east right now I can fly on American and get leg count toward ststus even though milesfpve won’t. My flights on American are generally under 2 hr flights/ 100 real miles.

i coukd book 3 RTs a year on AS to west coast st 5 legs per for 15 and around 16000 miles, thrn fly AA for the other 15 legs ( 4 legs a RT) and get ststus but maybe only have a combined 21000 miles.

on AS if I do one of the trips to hawayy from east cost,that’s double XC in miles.
