This is the first time that I can remember ever seeing an airline willing to sell elite status.
You can buy 90 day elite status ranging from Silver to Platinum, for prices ranging from $200-$600, depending on whether you currently have any elite status on USAirways.
If within those 90 days you fly between 7,500 and 22,500 miles (depending on the elite level that you bought into) you will be able to keep the status until February 2009.
