Looking to status match my BA Gold and leave Oneworld, maybe go to Star Alliance? What BA are doing with the Avios I think it is time for a re-shuffle and maybe transfer my commitment to another alliance. I've written to BA asking to review their recent changes to the Executive Programme but sadly, they are not listening. So maybe we small in numbers can make big changes! If there are other alliances willing and able to encourage moves and switch our allegiance, we could all make a difference and bring these rewards programmes back to support the Customer. My flights are paid for by me, not a company/corporate account.
BA appear to no longer recognise this and I believe they want the corporate markets who pay for their employees to travel.
I feel a little like "David and Goliath" but I have the motivation and loyalty if other alliances will jump onboard.
