You are assuming this is a problem AS has complete control over (contradicting a public statement otherwise, I might add).

Or are you suggesting AS should shut down EK awards like they shut down AM awards? That is one way to "fix" the problem that is 100% in AS control- block EK from displaying. Would that satisfy you? It certainly removes any illusion that you can purchase miles for showers at 35,000 feet. Again, be careful what you ask for.
