KVS is an extremely valuable tool for me that is not matched by any other service. EF is excellent but it is only minimally helpful with OneWorld award searches. I would hate to see KVS disappear.
+1 - did those who complain never wondered why they need to plug various credentials for award searches and other info requests?
KVS is not "data provider", its a browser tool that represents data you can get directly on your own in a way that some people prefer over regular browser way. You pay for convenience of data layout - not for some magic data stream officiated by each company where the data comes from.
I guess you guys didnt use UA award search which disappeared as well - you used your credentials, on your own time/cpu and UA still had a problem with it.
Given this is FT with huge volumes of posts dedicated to MS, airline mistakes, MR and BR, ways to dump fuel costs, etc - the outrage over KVS tool is comical.
