That was exactly my point
​​​​Keeping plat requires 60 non-dom Y legs, when you need 100 Y legs to get SEN. Things are a bit different if you start from scratch (116 non-dom Y legs needed)

However if you only fly domestic on LHG it might indeed be easier to achieve SEN as the points rate is the same between domestic and intra continental, which isn't on AF. Therefore where you would need 150 domestic Y legs on AFKL to keep Plat (290 if you start from scratch) vs. only 100 on LHG.
