Regarding the TWA Status Issue:
I'm TWA Plat & TWA Life Plat. AA issued me an EXP card for 2001 this past summer. I received a letter over the last week from AA saying that my status had been extended through 2/2003. This is with all of 5,300 AA miles earned YTD...(they haven't moved over the 2001 Aviator's activity yet).
Hopefully that clears up the confusion.
