Yes, I do not read the rules for a status that I will fall back to when I stop flying (next year or so), I'll do it then, But, really, I don't understand why you get sort of angry just because I don't agree with everything you wrote. I have my opinion, you have yours, and the "only" argument in favour of mine is that, in my eyes, blue members are not the ones who are targeted by frequent flyer programs throughout the industry to expect a special treatment from any of those.

PS You say that I'm satisfied that blue members have more difficulties reaching higher status. I wrote "there was a time when (almost) everybody was satisfied that a few years back it became more difficult to reach gold. Now "we" complain about that?" I never agreed with that statement, which was used by FTers posting opinions to the effect that a gold tier is a status of distinction in today's society
