I don't travel as often as I used to, but I got US Air Silver status from many 2005 flights, lasting until Feb 28 2007. I won't get it again for 2007. I wasn't aware of status match until I saw this.

I would really love to get an elite status with AA or UAL for 2007 with my US Air Silver. I am a bit worried though the match would only last until my US Air one ended, or that they might not match me at all since my 2006 flying was pretty limited and spread out.

I do a lot of travel in spurts, and my company always buys those $1200 refundable tickets, and lets me go first if it isn't too much more. Would it help if I showed them I only fly full fare?
