Unfortunately more bad news for the OP's SO, the fall from grace couldn't have come at a worse time, as FT explorers and scientists have recently discovered the existence of "deep coach", which, according to the early scientific reports from the field, "...unlike other parts of the plane, Deep Coach has no escape: Once you are stuck in, you are in for the ride."

Is there a 12-step program for losing status (or even flying as a no-status pax on one airline when you have status with a different airline)? Maybe there should be.

My 1-step program was to start buying J/F tickets. :D

I think you should sit her down and explain to her that she now has peasant status with AA and her travel life won't be the same. She won't be on the upgrade list any more, will pay for her bag, won't even get preferred seats, and board with group 7, unless she pays extra. Then tell her that you are sorry that this happened to her, and ask her what she is going to do, does she have a plan, and if she is gonna be okay. :)

Lost my PLAT status... Well, just flying for the first time on AA since then. Just checked in. And found out that there is a GROUP 8
Had no idea such a low social level existed. That's on a Eagle CRJ. Seriously ? On a 80 seat plane ? Crual.

For those who seem humor impaired, (not you, Pucci), I’d like to point out that tongue was planted firmly in cheek during the writing of the op. My darling girl called a little while ago to say she’d arrived, sans upgrade but otherwise intact.

I'd say this unless you are a CK or at least a mid level spend EXP prepare to sit in the back, a lot. I'm a mid spend PP with 3 flights on Saturday, including one in the evening, and right now it doesn't look like I will be sitting up front on any of them. It's coming down to if you really want F and not in one of the aforementioned groups, pay for F.

As an EXP I am #6 on the UG list LAX-PHX (revenue fare) for 0 seats today!!!! :p

Just a purely hypothetical question - would killing 5 people to ensure an upgrade be considered an act of terrorism or the free market at work?
