That's it. I am done with Cathay. I just read the unbelievable story about the compensation in cash for a downgrade from F to J on the mistake-fare ticket. I have been loyal to Cathay for over 18 years now. I have spent a fortune on flights. Never mind the service downgrade, never mind the tighter cabin configurations. But if they literally throw money out of the window I am going to spend my hard-earned bucks on other carriers. I have been downgraded for a least two or three times due to a equipment change - mostly on F-award-tickets on regional flights. The most I got was the difference in miles spent - 10'000 or 15'000. Should I have asked for 100'000. Seems to be more appropriate under the new policy.
