I can understand that the comment may grate on some people but in reality, it's not so hard to attain OWE even if you are flying discount Y if you are flying quite a lot. My first year of OWE was from short haul discount Y (Australian domestic). I didn't feel like I was flying that much to be honest and it was certainly much less flying than I do now, although admittedly I rarely fly Y nowadays.

Ah now, the final point, i.e. priority boarding... I wish they sorted that one out properly!
