Since it hasn't, I am quite pleased.
I suspect that the recent low fares may possibly have something to do with the absence of large airline profits.
But in the long run most things average out, and that is part of the basis for my expectation that future fares will increase. So I'm guessing that I am keeping a larger fraction of my miles than many flyertalkers. But not all of them.
