Some, like me, will have to consider to change to another program, maybe even another alliance. My flight pattern (including regular Europe-Australia flights in F) used to work perfectly with M&M, and now they shafted me twice in one go:

1) F got severely devalued.

2) Half of my Europe-Australia segments won't count towards lifetime SEN, the ones on SQ and TG etc., as LH Group doesn't fly to Australia. Would have become lifetime SEN in a bearable number of years under the old system, not anymore.

Concerning the 50rt flights in Germany/Europe: The pressure to reduce short-haul flying has been steadily increasing for a while now; could change dramatically after the next elections in Germany. Have also heard first public voices that criticise LH for incentivising "more flying" right at a time when air travel is one of the foci of the debate on climate change.
