The problem is that any attempt to resolve this without widespread international agreement and cooperation will introduce perverse incentives of its own.
That said, this is the best proposal I’ve heard of so far for BAEC going 100% revenue based. It would be a logical response to accusations of frequent flyer programs encouraging illogical and wasteful routings. Just award one tier point per £10 spent.
