I have read this tread with great interest. I was matched GE status this March to NWA from HP. Since that time I have flown over 125,000 miles with NWA. I have recently learned that NWA will stop flying to my home airport (RNO) in January. I want to get status matched to CO but have been unable to convince them that this is not my doing. I don’t want to leave NWA but they are leaving town. I have made several phone calls and two letters on this matter. I have even tried to contact NWA for a letter to release CO from this agreement. No luck yet. I have sent a letter to US Airways trying to get matched to top level elite then try to get CO to match, but it has been a month now and no return mail. Anyone have any new ideas?

Thanks!
