But would SK be OK with that, I'm doubtful?
AC made a status match campaign towards US competition in the wake of the pandemic and it was probably one of the biggest disasters execution vice in AC history. I basically think that AC managed to piss everybody off, both existing and new customers. And I'll put my head on the block and say it did cost AC a substantial amount of money.
So when the status match mayhem starts Airlines really have to be prepared for fraudsters and make sure that they have thought it through. In AC's case and if my memory doesn't fail me, it ended up with legal battles and threatening of such, involving top tier US FF and fraudsters alike.
