Flex/Saver shenanigans have left me looking elsewhere for direct flights, rather than routing through DBX.

Since April 11, EK are already down @ GBP1500 on my spend, due to me using alternatives,

Maybe a drop in the ocean as far as EK are concerned, but the changes have focussed my (financial) attention elsewhere, and while the savvy travellers may only be a small percentage of the total, I'm all for spreading the word about my dissatisfaction.
Agree. for my Australia trip I have booked SQ instead of EK, since they were more than 30% cheaper, and I don't get the lousy EK saver miles!
