Many of us, like me, fear that if more people had access to higher level of partner award availability almost guarantees a reduction in saver space across the board.

This is already the reason why availability is scarce as it is, because airlines' own customers are booking at the mid-tier levels.

Look at DL.

It will be good for those who want to burn more miles to have access to better inventory, but it will hurt those who prefer to use miles only at the saver level.

Revolt? No. Many upset customers? For sure.
