Which year are you referring to? This current qualification year or the next? First, the qualification year for each member is now spread over the year. Second, those who got rollover during this year qualification period (rolled over from last year) or who got to fly a bit for those 2 months pre-"COVID-19" and accumulated some XP
are not the members we are talking about.
Those ones, like you said, would have lost their XP and not re-qualified, as you said. And even with the "bone" thrown by FB, they would have received only the differential XP to attain their respective Elite threshold and would have lost their XP anyway during the reset. Those ones are the ones benefitting from the special COVID-19 commercial gesture
and those would never have complained anyway.
We are talking here about the members who have already re-qualified this current qualification year pre-"COVID-19", having accumulated enough XP to reach (or higher than) their respective Elite threshold.
I therefore don't see your point.

Well, considering that the only meaningful complain we have seen and read so far on this forum, following the FB COVID-19 special actions, relate to the precise XP rollover issue,
I do challenge you to provide some examples of what could be complained about. Please be my guest and creative & imaginative.
It's not about making everyone happy, but make a vast majority happy, and the thing is that the population of the FB members like me who had already re-qualified with rollover seems to be pretty significant (unless we are a very very very vocal minority...).

My turn to say "
Oh please".
Once again, this is not the "World" here. It's FlyerTalk, AF–KLM | Flying Blue sub-forum, dedicated to debate and discussions like this. We have a "concentrated" population comprised of FFP experts.
Stop your grandiloquent speech. There are always bad things happening in the world, we can only but acknowledge them and be sympathetic (which we are). It doesn't mean that we should not be speaking about this.
And this makes you hypocritical as well, being yet a member coming here to argue with us and shaming us, while there are so many serious things happening in the world. Start your preaching with yourself by staying away from the discussion if this lowers too much.
