I wish.....No...I am the boss......maybe I need to have a word with myself and tell me to cut down on my travel a bit !

Lifetime Gold would not be inappropriate, IMO. Virtually zero cost to BA, but something that would encourage staying with BA.
Excellent idea!.......KLM do it

I'm sure those who are over the 6000 TP threshold are not too concerned about maintaining (or earning) status with another airline. Status is simply a by-product of the travelling rather than a goal in itself.

Agree on the GUF2's every 1000 TP's......I will do 6000 TPs in 7 months......so what's incentive now to keep on BA for other 5?
......disagree on the last point......I can often decide which alliance to use.....and I might consider reaching/maintaining status on another airline if there is little to be gained on BA

As a "mere" Gold I don't really fly enough to enjoy the Flounge etc. so I can imagine it is exacerbated if you are GGL.
Good points.........
