Also my travel patters are extremely sporadic, I can fly 50K miles one year, not fly at all the next two, then fly 80K miles another year and then nothing. I think AA's lifetime benefit will help me the most, then i don't have to worry about maintaining status, achieving it is no problem for me, it's maintaining it that i can't seem to do very well...

me too.

True.

I'm not sure what is worse, being a Kettle or an elite in the back.

Back when I was a Kettle (18 months ago:eek:) I didn't know what I was missing.

Now when I am in the back I am fuming because I know what is going on up there.

Hmmm. I'd be shocked, too, if I had a boarding pass that said 34A and found it to be a middle seat.
