Hasn't the entire purpose of these programs been eliminated (I mean awards, not elite status). If tomorrow every airline in the world said "Our mileage/revenue earning program is ending in 30 days, you have three years to redeem and all award levels are dynamic." how would it change the airline industry? Which airlines would lose significant passenger revenue, if any?
