Sorta of off-track, bu AA will not comp based on CO status; they only offere a challenege. That's okay though, it was a blessing in disguise. CO has the best domestic first class product in the U.S., hands down. If CO gives you status as a straight up match you are getting a much better product that AA so I hope they give it to you. (HAHA, unless you're here in DFW too and then that's just another person I have to compete with for space on the blue carpet)
