The new T's & C's specifically refer to the HHA so I can't see them doing away with it. I wouldn't worry.

We just don't know. Most of what is in your mind will be down to speculation. I'm waiting until November - I am wondering too, but the mileage changes make me feel less nervous about it all.

Again, I think you're extrapolating too far. More recognition might be as simple as some sort of mileage multiplier for Golds and Silvers. You're not losing anything by being Blue in that case.

Doubtful - NYC is a cash cow and they won't want to irritate people flying on that route.
