Also I am not aware yet of any decline of flying activities in and out of western Europe - but on the contrary all major hubs over here show air-traffic increase.

Don't judge the future of FrequentFlyer programs (and their ever growing importance as marketing tools for major airlines) solely by the domestic US market.
