How about starting a thread with info about addresses to write to (or fax numbers) and responses people have had for requests for matched status? Will make it easier for all those in the wave behind you.
Would be especially interested to hear if NW is matching anyone's CO or DL status. Or any other helpful details from experiences with other programs. Might as well speed up the exodus, eh?

So I did.
It's actually easier to get UA to do it, b/c they will accept a fax of your statement. If you call their FF800 number and explain what you want to do, they will connect you to the dept that handles comps. It's quick, easy and painless.

Would be very curious to know if AA has matched anyone's status... would much prefer a comp to a challenge.

In my very, very, very rudimentary observation of the AA board discussion of same over the last year or so I would say less than 25% of CO Plats who request AA comp get better than AA Gold (entry level.)
But perhaps AA has a new directive in place in light of recent events.
