I really can't believe the whining on here today. I certainly don't see these changes as positive, but I didn't realize FT was only open to those between the ages of 4 and 12 today.

Sheesh. We wanted [and received] many changes over the past few years. Much lauded by the FT community at large. Such as, IPTE with lie-flats, keeping our CR-1's at least temporarily, a merger resulting in a HUGE network, etc etc. Hey, we even got UDU that we don't have to support with instruments. The value of CR-1's dropped after that anyway.

We're keeping 1K 1K. And without a stupid DEQM this year, it actually might mean something now. We're keeping our 6 SWU's. Although everyone is complaining about their value right now, they're still WAY WAY better than any CR-1 will ever be.

Folks, this could have been much worse. Take a deep breath, relax, and take the over-inflated emotion out of all this vitriol.

Lastly, for those shopping for a new airline, have fun over there. You will be happily upgraded from any fare into a crampt, crappy, angled lie-flat the 4 times you fly internationally on your EVIPs. As for your domestic travels, you'll get the same [OR WORSE] and no options for CR's at all.
