New SAS upgrade rules

On Nov 1 SAS will change its service concept within Europe (you can read a lot about it in the SAS forum so no need to go into depth here).
Basically it means there will be three classes within Europe: economy (with no free food/drinks, economy flex (with free food/drinks) and business.

At the same time a new stupid upgrade rule will be implemented in Eurobonus.
The new rule means it is only possible to upgrade with an Eurobonus upgrade voucher from economy flex to business class within Europe.
As I suppose most people prefer to upgrade when flying for leisure (when one has time to actually enjoy the better service and food) this decision makes absolutely no sense as basically all economy booking classes (even as high as M and B) are placed at the very back and only booking classes Y and S (the most expensive economy tickets) in economy flex.

Maybe this can be added to the otherwise very nice * summary...
