It's quite amusing that CI ranks all the short haul flights between 30-40 (range 0-10) tier points and think they can get away with 0-5 tier points change for North America. If I am taking Business, why would I continue with CI and not opt for BR or JX? The points given for Oceania is also a joke. 4-5,000 miles for double the amount of regionals...
