You should probably ask yourself why LH thinks its perks are worth 2x those of TK or A3.
I am not angry at all. I am just wondering why LH should make a status match with a programme where one can achieve top tier twice as quickly (your words).
In addition if the other programmes (A3 and TK) are so much better, I am wondering why people are willing to move to such an inferior programme (LH).

There must be somehow an advantage with LH also?!?
LH just follows - and I completely support - the proverb:
You cannot have the butter and the money for the butter the same time.

In addition who tells you that a person putting all flights on an A3 account is only flying intra-European?
