It would be interesting to see how an award structure like this affects availability that is pushed to partner airlines. As of now, it is virtually impossible for a member of a partner (SkyTeam, AS, etc) FFP to redeem for a Delta flight, due to the lack of low-band awards (we don't have access to Medallion availability). Any ideas on how such a change would affect the definition of "low?"
If such changes actually take place, my switch to AS and Flying Blue will finally be justified.
