After chewing this for few days I think this will be a positive change for my flying patterns. I buy long haul J and for short haul I don’t care much anyway. I plan to stay with AY if/as long as keeping Plat is feasible and I reach LTG. Lumo definitely not in the future but there’s really nothing to this anyway, just a joke.

After that, if AY over cooks this change (my prediction is they will…) I will then use BAEC as my main FFP for Emerald status, first impression is that this actually discourages using/preferring AY in the future but we’ll see.

If this change will result in fewer status members for AY then I’m all for it, too many of us now.
