Oh, I'm soooooorry ... I was under the impression that you only considered those who gained status by flying the required number of miles to be "real" elites ... oh, wait, what's this ... gosh, I guess I take back my apology:

I think we're both adult enough to understand the gist of my comments. Besides, both the traditional way of earning status and challenges require pax to fly a required number of miles to earn status. So, the only way of getting status that I didn't cover with my above quoted statement was comps. So, as you've already read, I clarified my comments to include those who were legitimately comped by the airline, per the rules and without intent to defraud.
