EBDs and EBPs would of course have higher chances of qualifying for SEN, but I was talking about EBG. Surely when we're discussing Eurobonus, the gold card refers to the Gold status, not Diamond or Pandeon status (even though they match to the gold
alliance status).
As for EBDs and EBPs, the question is how attractive would dropping to SEN be for them. And even then it's not 100% certain they could keep it - for example, if many of their segments come from regional routes in Scandinavia (which I suspect makes a large portion of EBD) as I don't see Eurowings flying Trondheim to Oslo or Stockholm to Helsingborg. And those EBDs and EBPs who earn the status via other means are probably not the people who will be willing to fly Copenhagen to London via Frankfurt...
