I would be surprised if this ends up not being the case. SLUT/LTK fares need upgrade certificates AND those fares only get 50% MQM/EQM.
We really should stop giving Jeff fleecing ideas.
Same here. I'll be gone ASAP if Jeff ever thinks of introducing this. I could stomach the latest changes but this really hits a nerve. My guess is CO can prepare to be getting some of my revenue this year.
Me too, I'm really getting sick of this destruction of the FFP.

Agreed. Making things "best of" is simple. Make it to the WP 2008 Elite program. SIMPLE.
