I'm sure there will be people who will not like this, but if this is a true change that has been made by FB, then it is a welcome one. I know there are genuine non-status passengers that will be somewhat penalized, but with the rise of the credit card points redeemers, this is a great way to provide a better experience to customers who actually spend money and fly on your airline. Again, if this change is here to stay, well done Ben and team!
