On the contrary! I am a very small fish compared to some of the flyers here, but my Christmas tickets will cost more than that per person. And I'm a member of FT, which means I pay attention to this stuff. Why would I want less credit rather than more for my upcoming flights? I already spend all the miles I earn every year, and I'm not CK, so more miles and/or credit would be great. Thank goodness this isn't a problem with AA (yet). Hope it stays that way
