Have been EXP since 2002, starring back to lifetime Gold now. Any chance a plead to EXP desk might help? I now am in a role where I travel domestic F for work, should hit the 200k LP by Oct-Nov timeframe, but its the 30 segments are going to be hard to hit. Most of my travel is on SFO-JFK/ORD/DFW non stops.
EXP since 2002?
It's dumb enough that AA didn't extend everyone's status like the other majors, but it's essentially corporate malfeasance that AA hasn't reviewed the list of people with expiring status and extended people like you.
If AA doesn't extend you, you should status-match to UA or DL before your AA status expires March 31, just on principle. And then mail a copy to Robert Isom and whoever is running AAdvantage this week.
