As for FFP enhancements - I'm all for them. Bring them on. The less mileage pax in my F cabin the happier I'll be.
Actually, I do know some people that have switched to CX (and even UA!) thanks to AC switching to 10 across in Y.
Now, the type of fare buyers they attract are the ones paying CAD 800-900 to HKG/BKK/MNL r/t from YVR.
(and some of the people that have switched to CX have actually been happy to pay the bit extra.)
