It increased its own mileage redemption more than star alliance awards. For example, F *A award costs 120 to N Asia and 125 to Europe, which is still much cheaper than UA and CO, and that's the new rate (well, old rate too, they didn't increase F) C went up to 100 and 105 I think, which is still better than CO and UA.
