Another said that CO had agreed to comp him to Gold, match his miles and give him PC membership for a year. He said that CO told him that they had gotten so many requests they were beginning to honor them rather than lose the customers to AA, UA, or US.
Again, not sure about if this is legit- just passing on what I heard.
Total crap (well, maybe 80%). But thanks for passing it along... (at least you recognized this as BS).
Status match, possibly (although AA does usually try to push people to the gold/plat challenge, and Skyteam members previously have stayed away from poaching within the group). Matching miles, not in a million years. Offering club membership, highly doubtful.
