Without going too OT, I'll willingly fly AC, but of my last 4 longhaul UK-CAN-UK flights, no IFE on 3 of them due to broken systems, dirty planes, broken seats etc. Last flight was a good 18 months ago though, so it may well have improved a bit since then. Crew (as with bmi l/h) were consistently good though.

My parents refused to set foot in the USA*, so UA was always out of the question. As we know, the US is not a sensible place to make a transit, as you have to enter anyway.
Their RTW consisted of LX (LHR-ZRH-DXB),
SQ (DXB-SIN//SIN-KUL//KUL-SIN-PER
NZ (PER-AKL//AKL-SYD), and
AC (SYD-YVR//YVR-YYZ//YYZ-YUL//YUL-LHR)
Their ratings were SQ>LX>NZ>AC.
I suppose they ought to make a flight on BD to keep on the right side of the karmic forces.
* and I used to live near LAX!

Yes, this is a known problem - if you have two flights on one day (or by the look of what you have posted, if you have two flights credited on one day) where a status threashold is crossed, the first flight's status miles get flagged and adjusted (probably manually?) but the second one seems to get lost.
When the flight from the 25th posted (on the 30th), I got the adjustment and the change in level. After this, the rest of my flights posted (with dates between the 25th and 30th) but i didn't get status miles for them (all 16).
So, I think the rule is that any flights taken between the date of the one which takes you over the threshold and the date of the mileage adjustement are ignored. It's a little more obvious in my case because I've been travelling with partner airlines and they take a while to post.
