Hmm--I believe US DM members had similar problems for a week or so due to computer glitch.

I would rather look at things realistically than hope for the best. If this were the Star Alliance of 4 years ago, your reaction to such a restriction would be quite different I think.

I suspect more such "restrictions" will be forthcoming.
