Journey to Top Elite Status on American and United Airlines UPDATE April 2012

After traveling this past month that had me travel every week. I had nothing planned on American (revenue ticket) but used AA miles on a week-long Cathay Pacific trip to China at the end of the month.  I did 2 turns to Hawaii on United the first half of April.  I also had a DFW-HNL trip plus DFW-ITO on United... here's my progress to American Airlines Executive Platinum Status and United Premier 1K status for 2013 benefits so far through April 30th.
