You can still buy Y fares and get EliteAccess.

Last year CO offered some folks in this situation the option of paying to retain status. Based on the way they seem to want to thin their elite ranks I'd guess they will not make such offers this year.

Hmmm...I'd think they'd prefer to go for the tall folks who would be more willing to pay for the increased status to get the better pitch.

Has YOUR airline screwed you over lately?
