I meant no offence to you, craz, or to anyone; nor was I trying to imply that FTers can't (or don't) think for themselves. It's just that safigan's statement almost exactly matches the explanation given by FB for their recent program 'enhancements'.

The specific item has gone from their website now, but it was something along the following lines: "Flying Blue has changed its rules so that mileage accrual rates more accurately reflect the fare paid." Hence my misunderstood attempt at sarcasm!
