I typically do a month-long trip to LHR and then nestle a BA trip somewhere else in the middle. The 50% EQM thing is going to make BA completely lose my business... I guess I'll have to re-connect in the USA to use AA instead of flying LHR-SIN-SYD on BA.
As a PLT I'm really unhappy, particularly with the RDM earning chart for the second half of 2016.
Also, the $10 increase in the price of 500-mile upgrades was an extra twist of the knife.
