Interesting, was there a trade comment on this (so no D == discounted business for a month?), as previously when looking for flights with FJ I didn't find as many D seats as I may prefer

I am happy that this has come to occur, though it feels like it has been rather sneaked out without much pre-notice, including the switch to AAdvantage? Or I wasn't paying much attention to the dates since it had been announced for so long.

Either way, for those of us keen on RTW trips this opens up a variety of new options to the South West Pacific / Oceania beyond Qantas, which is advantageous. I was looking to see what I could get to, probably some intra-island hops like
LAX/HNL-NAN, NAN - Island1 - NAN - Island2 - NAN, NAN-HKG or to Auckland and Melbourne rather than the islands. Not great distances or planes, but could be routes to some fairly out of the way locations

(I presume would be allowed as the 4 segments, maybe even with some fairly long, if potentially painful IRROPs towards CXI for example - where there is a plane a week)
