It's not an issue of fun - it basically destroys the entire value proposition for a frequent flyer program for everyone except true HVF and big credit card spenders - everyone else is sent to kayak/orbitz and expected to contribute incremental margin for any product value-adds they want/need.
This is what happens when legislative idiots hands an already corrupt industry a true oligopoly, and weak-minded industry managers listen to idiotic analysts with mental issues.
