I wonder how many people are in this situation.
Regardless, you'll still be getting 2x the points that you currently get. If you are booking B6 flights now, even at 3pt/$, I can't see why you would suddenly refuse to do so once you start earning 6pt/$, unless this situation is making you so bitter as to refuse to fly the airline. But I imagine that you would have left along time ago if that was the deciding factor.
