I’m also not surprised this can’t be used to pay for award tickets, although the YQ collected is profit. With oil at $15 a barrel it shouldn’t even be collected but that’s another story.
The finance and legal teams will get a nice bonus for all of this. But they deserve an F- for ethics.
But precisely, because they are giving away vouchers instead of cash, they should loosen the rules of said vouchers so they become, in a way "Air France Currency", to use just as cash with AF.
