AA does a lot of things shoddily, but this wasn't one of them
AA was the only major U.S. carrier not to extend status, wasn't it?
Regardless, while the OP doesn't seem to be one of them, AA's promos were little help for foreign-based elites who couldn't fly and can't get an AA CC. AA apparently just waved goodbye to all of them.
