Just for something fun, I have added a poll to the top of this thread...wont make one bit of difference to what EK decide to do as the threshold limits have already been set - but will give us something to argue about over the weekend
PS I personally think they not only need to add this additional tier (at 125,000 tier miles) but then enhance that same tier and provide added incentive to keep flying (ie like QF does for people who do double and triple the status credits in a year, as does BA). There is no reason for the incentives to be capped at all.
