FD1971, I hope your post is tongue in cheek, because the way that I and others looka t it, it is quite the opposite........5-6 years ago KL was getting 30-40 flights a year from me, all in Business class (ok, maybe 98%), probably a 50/50 mix of long and short haul. This year they have gotten NONE, last year they got maybe 4. The economy may have tanked, but guess what I am flying as much if not more than ever, just AF/KL have managed to piss me off to the extent that they are getting very little of my business.
