Just checked the AS website, and I see that it has removed the requirement to fly segments on AS metal to earn status. I'm going to reevaluate for the DONE3 I started yesterday. Currently crediting to QR, which is also the carrier on which I do most of my flying. I'll look at mileage accumulation, earn/burn ratio and redemption availability. Maybe change to AS for the rest of my itin, so far I have only flown NRT-BOS on JL metal with AA flight number.
