I *was* a regular customer before the pandemic. I flew them more than any other airline except LO (mostly domestic hops). But if I lose my Gold status I'll probably never bother much with A3 again. So turning what were regular customers into ex-customers doesn't seem to be an ideal strategy.
Meanwhile, my second string FFP of SQ Kris Flyer has just given me a second year of status extension! Anyone with status expiring from 03/21-02/22 now has it extended to 03/22-02/23.
