Actually the total number of HONs qualifying with Eco flights will be almost the same as the total number of HONs. Or do you think, that HONs never fly Eco? I never talked about Eco flights only. There are many numbers between 0% and 100%.
One segment FRA-SFO in F gives the same amount of points as 14 segments Eco light within Germany. And more important than the probably lower turnover of the Eco flights are the costs. 1 flight with HON service included versus 14 flights without a significant margin and with a huge loss after accounting >USD 150 for every FCT visit.
Beside of that it doesn’t make sense to discuss about that topic on that base. You take the 45 trips Y Eco long haul guests as an example. I take the 150+ short haul K Eco guests as an example. What do you think, how many customers out there are corresponding with your example and how many customers out there are corresponding to my example? Will you find my example 50 times more often? 100 times? 200 times? 500? At least 500 times! More likely 1000 times. There are so many many commuters within Europe on integrated M&M metal, who get FTL by segments only, who will get SEN soon and who have a third or half way to HON already. So what is the relevance of your example?
