Why having to wait 18 years old!

I belived MPC is by far the best frequent flyer program around...but I still cannot figure out why they won't accept children.

I understand most programs will take you when you reach two years old, make sense with the fare structure.

But why MPC is awaiting 18th birthday? My son had to end up being platinum on AA while he was 7 and we were travelling a lot. I have two kids, now 11 and 9...they would be both Silver, and maybe even GO.

Due to this, we now diversify between airlines...resulting in simply less flights for CX...while they could simply have all of us hooked to CX easily...

MPC still give benefits to family members, but wouldn't it be easier to get the teens addict to MPC as soon as they can?

Thanks for sharing your opinions...
