This is my point SE Status is entirely eroded because of AC's pass push---for non-international flights SE status is way less important than it used to be and with our inability to even conveniently upgrade for flights that we are eligible to AC/AP has made it more difficult with an eye on pushing passes. Perhaps AC/AP should come out and just be honest about this and quit pretending that SE is the highest status on AC --its not--its the pass holders.
