If you fly the same in your short year as you flew in the same months in your final old year you will again get to 1500 tp. If you need 560 tp then that what you flew before april 1st in your final old year. Fly the same flights in the same time period and you will get the same status. You must have flown the 560ntp in that period last year.
I am unclear what the issue is
Am I seriously spelling this out to a seasoned forum professional? The assumption that most have the same flying pattern each and every year is naive at the extreme.
Business travel is dominanted by short notice travel - hence the pricing.
Why BA would apply a linear earning rate than penalises (I would hazard a safe bet) against many business travellers with travel patterns that are short term by nature? Short sighted by BA IMO (or the Machiavellian side says maybe this is their way of shedding excess GCHs?)
