You will because there are huge numbers of them. Under the new system the number of people who fly enough to get 100 Points or are willing to pay $100, but who don't fly enough to get Silver, will be far far less than the current number of Green members who fly a couple of cheap short hauls each year (or people like me who only fly very occasionally, but have Green as a legacy of just shy of a million Club Miles). I will lose my MPC membership shortly, for example (though while I have been Green as far as I can remember I have only flown in F on miles, so I haven't inconvenienced anyone by taking priority anything based on my Green card ).
