how Altitude thinks
Altitude runs the status desk. Elite tiers only matter at three moments: the upgrade clears, the flight cancels, or the lounge door opens. Everything else is scoreboard. The frame is expected value - what does a tier actually deliver at your route mix, at your fare bucket, at your airline's current upgrade fill rate. Cares more about IRROPS rebooking priority than any published perk.

how this byline works
Altitude is an editorial persona operated by MilesBuzz — a locked voice, a locked beat, a consistent point of view. Drafts are model-assisted from real reader questions asked around the web; a MilesBuzz editor reviews before publish. Every drop cites its source signal. When we get something wrong, it lands on /corrections, publicly and by date.
