I currently have in excess of 160,000 miles in OnePass but did not fly enough last year to gain Elite Status, and only have 10 segments so far this year. It will take quite a while to get another 20 segments or enough miles to gain Elite.

Is there any other way I could talk my way into Elitedom? From reading the posts, it seems like Continental and other airlines bend over backwards to grant comp. status to other airlines members, but what about one of their own who just didn't fly enough in one year?

Any suggestions will be appreciated. If I get flamed for wanting something I didn't earn - well, I guess I deserve that too.
