You continue to beat this strawman to death. While higher fare pax are being rewarded more richly, it is absurd to say the the FF programs are built "entirely" around them. Only a small minority of low fare flyers will be cheesed off enough to actually change their flying habits. The majority of flyers do not obsess about getting the absolute maximum number of points like FT'ers. FT'ers have derided DL's program for ages. If the general public is as fixated on points as you suggest, how has DL continued to remain successful?
