2. People collect status, looking at us as a huge extreme on one end
3. People that normally don't fly have the option of getting high elite status if they do start to fly

#3 is really where I'm going at, and whether we're making a bigger deal then it actually is. I do agree that there will be more higher tier elite status if CC LP is more then the old process and those people fall off elite status or go elsewhere, but I really question how impactful CC LP driven it will be, especially if the understanding is that they'd then want to buy Y just to upgrade to J/F which bumps one of us off. I get that this is FT, the more extreme side of the flying world, so we're an echo chamber on ourselves. The EXP that flies anyways and dumps it on a card is still going to be an EXP, it's the new players that use CC LP that sounds possible on paper just doesn't seem like it'll be as disruptive as everyone imagines.
