Thanks for sharing your opinions...
MPC used to not age discriminate. I remember seeing an issue of CX magazine that Titled "Meet the Youngest SL member" with a picture of a 12 year old girl. But now they do.

All the excuses can be made, but at the end of the day, it's about cutting cost. Elites benefits are pure cost for the airlines, so to deny a segment of pax with elite benefits will "save" them money.
