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.
This. Pretty much same plans.
I’m even considering to buy some shares but so far I’ve stayed away from any airline stocks. Hiking prices, keeping costs in check and now moving to spend based program are great moves as a business and with that good for shareholders. Tempted but the pile of debt airlines including Finnair accumulated, no steady dividends in sight and its not a scale/growth business keeps my status as loyal customer vs shareholder.
