Calchas I agree - I think all GGL / CCR who are not impressed with this change should write to the usual e-mail address. I had quite a fast response time (3 hours). If they get the message that this "enhancement" is a step too far perhaps a retraction for Gold + could happen?
I reminded them of the TINY fare fiasco @ BMI some time ago. It didn't take long for BD*G passenger power to reverse some of the changes proposed with that fare!
It's my view that moaning on FT is good to let off steam but the discontent should perhaps be directed to GGL if an eligible FT member.
