EQD - $53.5k
EQM - 176k
Was hopefully to make CK in 2019, but no invite yet and no more travel this year. Oh well, maybe next year.
Colleague renewed CK with less EQD/EQM, and in the PHX market... I guess it's easier to renew when you're already in the club.

To xJonNYC’s point in another thread about profitability, I received my first invite to CK last week. At the time I received the invite, I had (approximately):
19k EQD
85k EQM
20 segments
That’s close to USD 1,000 per segment, and I think my cost per mile was between $0.60 and $0.70, but it’s hard to say because some of my flights were in full-fare business on OW partners, and brought down the EQD relative to what it would have been for a flight on AA metal.

CK invitation
<<I feel like there are two main gates into CK: be important, or spend tons of money on AA metal>>
All my conversations indicate that they have gone to "How much AA business do you control for others" as the criteria. Some large corporate travel offices seem to get asked to name CK people in their company, but most of the CK's I have spoken with control the travel budget for others. I was CK for years, but got fired after the merger even though I was flying more on AA and spending more than ever.

Two entirely different paths towards CK, controlled by two entirely different departments within AA.
Thousands of CKs who make it on member profitability alone and don't in *any* way "control for others"
