well...seems CX, QF and BA are all pretty stingy for discount economy travel...but, at least QF and BA do reward their business travelers by giving them faster track towards higher status recognition (100% and 200% status bonus for C and F)...BA Exec Club (UK) even gives 100% and 200% bonus miles for C and F...but, CX is stingy to discount economy travelers, and on the other hand not very generous towards C and F travelers (only 25% and 50% bonus, kind of the absolute minimum class-of-service bonus found in all airline programs)...
