The comment that The Pier competes with LH FCT is hyperbole. Don't get me wrong, I like The Pier - except for the fact that it lacks an equivalent of The Wing's Cabanas.

However, when compared to LH FCT, there's just no comparison. It's like saying that a Lexus competes with a Maybach for luxury. The Pier or for that matter The Wing lacks the personal greeting and dedicated pax attendants that LH provides at the FCT. F&B at FCT is far superior and I believe that The Pier's catering provider will soon change so it remains to be seen whether quality at The Pier Dining Room will improve, remain the same or decline. Even the snacks at FCT are better. Of course LH provides the cigar room and the duckies too.
