This is purely speculation, but as each day goes on and the number of disruptions and delays at American Airlines increases, I have to think another double elite qualifying miles promotion is just around the corner.

AA has already been quite generous this year in terms of awarding elite qualifying miles and AAdvantage elite status.

    It’d be nice if it were for say… early 2013 (as I’m already requalified for EXP), but I hope management gets an injunction before then.
