The flip side of all these discussions is that this is an improvement for 1K, Platinum, and Gold members like myself. I think 25,000 miles is a pretty low number for benefits, so this will hopefully mean continued availability to E+ seating up to the day of flight.
I'm wondering as a 1k what the improvements are? Other than losing 4CR1's/year, I'm not sure I notice an improvement...?
