lets put all this into perspective:

IT seems to have made top tier qualification easier but they hardly operate a J service domestically barring a few sectors and on the international front its only LHR, HKG and SIN to upgrade into. (BKK, CMB, DXB are all Y)

Brilliant for me who is a LHR to BOM regular but not so good to those who are truly global/regional.

If IT maintain this type of FF program after the next stage of international expansion then hats off to them.
