I agree, I recently started to do *A status from OW and went with Aegean since they have a 1000 status miles bonus sign up, and after one trip from YVR - FCO already gain *Silver, and the rest of the top of miles I just flew on Air China from SZX to PEK/PVG on F for the 300% miles do it for 5 times and hit *Gold already.
so if your just looking for *A status quickly this is a great program to do it with.
