Thanks for the reply.
AA is a very different airline now than 15 years ago
They also used to have small grace allowance they'd just give you if you were short in qualifying. I remember years ago I ended up at like 49,750 EQM and they gave me PLT requalification.
That said I haven't personally tried asking for any sort of leniency under the new LP scheme, so while I'm guessing your answer will be no you have nothing to lose by trying, other than your time on hold.
