Thanks to everyone. I know nothing is perfect but I feel better already.

Or here: Chances of upgrade clearing, upgrade availability discussion (consolidated - 2013 on)
I love it when someone starts a thread by saying "I know I shouldn't start a new thread for this, I know how to do it right, but that is too much trouble for a really important person like me. That's for the little people."

A Gold or PLT expecting an upgrade in and out of PSP, one should not get their hopes up.

Another point to think about is the AA-US merger. If all goes well, there'll be AA flights to PHX and points beyond. Unless of course they decide to make an improvement and cancel that route. I've asked AA about bringing back the Eagle flights (PSP-LAX) but they are "disinclined to acquiesce to my request" in other words NO!

Now, imagine AA changing lifetime Platinum to something like titanium status, and in the course of that dropping bonus miles to 50% and messing with your domestic upgrade rate accrual. That would be pretty similar to what UA did. If all you had was that midtier or lifetime status, think you'd be looking at alternatives?

The other 'improvement' since the merger was announced is that the soft landing of elite status goes away from next year.

As it appears that the OP has gotten the information needed, we'll close this thread as we're starting to wander off-topic (e.g., UA vs. AA, merger speculation, A319). Thanks everyone for your comments/replies! /Moderator
