I also heard a lot of complaints of HONs who think the new system will make it harder for them to requalify. At the same time, here and over at VFT I see a lot of posts saying it is actually easier. I think both sides have a point, question is whether LH won the right side over. Time will tell. What I can say is that my current standard (and insane) flight pattern (around 60 intra Europe returns, 2 intercontinental returns), spending around 80k per year on LH flights, won’t be enough, but it was easily in the past. In exchange LH gets more non hub P flyers.
