Discussion yesterday on the AA board about the benefits of their lowest level frequent flyer status (Gold, achieved with 25,000 flown miles in ANY fare class)... key benefit ? Ability to assign seats anywhere in cabin booked at the time of booking.... with the best seats (towards the front of the cabin etc) reserved for AA Elite pax.

Actually, BA used to do this for silvers and golds. They then decided that if you are stingy enough to buy an economy ticket, you can fight it out with the rest of the cabin.
