Give it a rest. If you don't like the changes, move on. Don't know why (fly) folks insist on cruising every AC thread and chiming in when they have clearly stated they have moved on.

If you want to pay attention to something AC related, monitor their quarterly results this year. That will be the primary determination on what they do with their FF benefits. If they make these changes (which I happen to like) and their loads and high yield passenger numbers are decent, then they did the right thing.
