But massively reducing earning possibilities with Star partners just completely rules out AC for a non-Canada-based flyer. Which may well be what AC executives want. That’s fine. I can take my business elsewhere. We have of course seen them backtrack on decisions in the past. And there may well people at AC reading this forum right now and listening. But moving from 1 : 1 points on distance on Star Alliance partners to 5 points to 1 SQC effectively rules this program out for me now. It/s been a good run over the last 20 years and I’ve enjoyed it. But I’m perfectly happy to go elsewhere. Will be looking out for other Star Alliance status matches over the next few months.
