To reiterate, with the myriad of issues that airlines have to deal with for 2002, why not leave programs as is and rollover into 2002 intact.
Lets face it, no program in 2001 was particularly good or bad, as you didn't see any massive in or outmigrations to any programs, so clearly there is overall general satisfaction with FFPs.
Let the airlines just reup in 2002, so they can move on to more pressing issues.
BTW, the rollover I'm suggesting for 2002 is for expediency purposes only, it does NOT address the core issue of making early disclosure a formal policy for future years (there WILL be future years!)
