We have *excellent* reason to believe that the vaccines being rolled out already, and that the next 3 shortly to join rollout in Europe specifically to speed up the process - JnJ/Novavax/Sanofi - will all materially protect against covid as a cause of hospitalisation or worse. At the rate vaccines are set to be delivered to Europe, the central expectation should be for Europe to be mostly post-Covid at some point during the Summer. As Europe becomes vaccinated, the vast majority of those "not currently" will become active flyers again.
Encouraging a large amount of your FFP to become free-agents just before that period begins seems incredibly counter-productive.
Frankly, if demand for aviation does not rebound as Europe becomes vaccinated, A3 will have much larger problems than if they extended FFP benefits & requals for people that still arent using them.
