For travelers between SFO-India, there are still many people flying CX, but there are of course other options. Intra-NA flyers also lose out, but there may not be too big an impact.

There are no winners for Y passengers. Winners are business class flyers to PVG/PEK. 25-30 TP/sector means that they can get to 1200 TP in 40-48 sectors instead of 64 sectors. If they still fly 64 sectors in D/I (the old qualifying business class sectors in the old scheme), they will get to 1600-1920 TP (for mid-tier benefits) with just the same travel pattern as in the past.
