PLEASE ANSWER THIS FOR ME: How can this be good for ANYONE? How can ANYONE want such a system?
I am SURE that if this does switch, there will be a period in which to redeem "old" awards at "old" award levels.
I LOVE the idea of a fare-based award accrual, fare-based award redemtion, and ESPECIALLY fare-based MQM.
I am so tired of so many "Elites" clogging the system and clogging the benefits for those that contribute to the bottom line. When 1/3 of the plane is "elite", NOBODY is elite.
