Many of those same people probably also don't know that the vast majority of the data (I won't say all because I am not 100% certain) is also available publicly without paying a subscription fee to KVS.

I'm happy to pay for a service when I feel I'm getting good value. But the way these latest changes have gone down - particularly with routing rules and RTW fares now costing extra where they used to be included in lower priced subscriptions - rubs me the wrong way.

And, no, I have no vested interest in EF. Never been a subscriber there and don't intend to.

PS - Welcome to FlyerTalk. Interesting thread to join up for.
