Do we see any problems with this?
just cancellation of your status and loss of your miles
in past situations checkin agents can remove all the extras from passengers if the elite is not present
also the issue of return flight segment being cancelled if you no show the outbound
ar least frontier made it easier this year to partially 'share' status benefits. platinum/diamond tier leves can gift gold/silver status so that they can use some of the perks when flying on their own.
