standbye placement

According to the LCD displays at DFW, ones Standbye status is
determined by your AAdvantage Status, your Checkin time, and travel
disruptions. I assume the AAdvantage Status includes frequent flier
miles.

My question is... if you spend some of your frequent flier miles,
will that negatively effect your Standbye placement?

If you frequently get on Standbye lists, does that affect your
AAdvantage Status?

No and no. It's based on what status level you are in the program, not
whta miles you use. It is also based on the fare class you paid, so when
you use points, you fall into a much lower priority than someone who is top
tier AAdvantage status, and flying on a full-fare ticket. You will be
above employees flying standby, if that is any consolation.

I dunno, but I'd much rather be on "Standby" than "Standbye"...
the latter having some negative connotations.

No. It is your current elite level which is based on the number of points last
year or this year, whichever is higher.

Can't imagine why.

Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me,
you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.

I very rarely bother responding to challenge/response systems,
especially those from irresponsible companies.

Elite Status isn't determine by the number of miles remaining.
AA.com has quite a bit of info on the levels.
