gleff I read your first post and a couple of comments.

You have both America West and US Airways as separate airlines, now that they are one shouldn't they be merged?

Also bmi will status match folks from non *A airlines. It is a one-time thing though like all the other airlines.

Finally one detail not in the first post is with respect to NW and status match. If you live in a hub city, they won't match you, if you are not in one of their hub cities, they do match. This was confirmed to my be a NW employee - they feel if you live where they live, you don't have a choice but to fly them, so no match.

Great thread ^
