Who would seriously take 15 intercont c flights just to obtain a status and use it once or twice on a flight he/she would have booked anyways.
Sure, if that's the only flying they are doing, that does not make sense. But for people that were stuck somewhere in between FTL and SEN, and do travel abroad in Y, it does make a lot of sense to push for SEN, if that's not too hard to achieve.
