E to SE instant status question
suppose that you hit 100k before the end of October and in selecting your SE package for balance of year, you've foregone the 100% bonus miles as one of your selections.
If you're already an Elite at the beginning of the year and have selected the 50% bonus miles, do you stop receiving those once they bump you up to SE?

I am in exactly the same situation... will hit SE in a couple of weeks. I recall reading a thread from a year or so ago that indicated that all your E benefits continued after hitting SE (i.e. you would continue to receive 50% bonus), but I don't know if this has be verified this year or not. I am debating whether to grab the extra SSWU, and probably will assuming I keep the 50% E bonus and working under the assumption that AC will institute the SE bonus from my 2007 package at the beginning of January (like last year) rather than beginning of March.
Can anyone verify how this is handled in 2006?

Do you still get to select your SE options if you hit it during the year? IIRC last year there was a default package selected for people who hit mid-year - or was that just Elite?

Anyone have any insight into what "qualify for Air Canada Super Elite status before the end of October 2006" actually means? I will pass 100,000 miles in mid October.... does that mean I've qualified or just that I have enough miles to qualify and have to wait some period of time for someone to qualify me (by which time the end of October has passed).
I'm flying some inconvenient routings to ensure I have enough miles before end of Oct. and would hate to think it is all for nothing.
