Setting aside your rant about how much cheaper BA is (and it's often not for people not based in Europe), it's simply not equivalent to competitor's products. Club Suite is starting to help, but there's a reason people with pay $X for Product A, but not $Y for Product B. Any discussion of pricing models can't ignore that.

And lastly, had you bothered to read the posts in this thread, most of us (including myself) have bought Qatar's lite fares. What is disheartening is that today's lite fares are priced like yesterday's classic fares.
