And I see they are now listing points on the fare class table for both S & R - at about 1/3rd of the points available for a standard cheapy. The highlights are:

Ireland: 6 - tee, hee
UK: 15
Near Europe: 18
Far Europe: 30
Tenerife: 45
JFK, BOS: 60
BWI: 63 (wow an additional 3 points, gee )
ORD: 75
LAX: 90

My God....

A couple of years ago you used to get 100 TAB points for a rock bottom AMS-DUB fare, now it's 18??? Why bother? That's a free ticket after 112 return trips!

EI thinks (apparently) that it can position it's FF program as if it had BA type service levels and lounges. As if.
