If they don't, flyers won't be flying the carrier to achieve the "status" and will go with another carrier if the alternative status opportunity presents. Seems pretty basic.
I strongly urge AS to keep the rollover. It was a good move that still makes sense to name as a flyer. Even my wife is going to go over 100K this year and would like to keep the status perks.
Even AA had incentives after flyers go over 200K and beyond. I don't really fly DL much, but have lifetime Silver, after earlier spurts. I think their prices are high, but their service is quite good. But I will fly them if AS gets petty about the rollover.
