Otherwise, this is mostly a yawn and probably more of a negative on the whole. Easier status upgrades = attempting to lure people into higher ranks. Introducing DME (or whatever it’ll be shortened to) could be an big negative for DMs if the soft perks and “special” treatment of DMs gets channelled only to DMEs.

Rollovers are nice.
I am grateful as I was about to lose my Diamond status. I tend to fly SQ and EK these days because of their A380s.
