But its not only here is it?

Some airline FFPs have been giving us great routing possibility for years, and then some idiot boasts about it here on FT and then that possibility becomes a thing of the past. ie AA's Oneworld awards.

FT has been a boost to the FFP industry but it also is a bane.

It's like going to a NEXT Boxing Day Sale and blaming NEXT for not having what they wanted when they turn up at about 2pm despite advertising it earlier
Or just blaming anyone for that matter.. like blaming us for not telling them early enough!
*Actually its like them showing up at 2pm, and asking why they can't have a particular jumper in the size they want when it clearly is stated on the bill board poster that sizes are limited.
