its a fact. if one run commercial operation one should really be able to tell the difference of who will blindly fly you (i.e. "Silver Plebs") vs those possibly higher net worth OWE to fly with you again. Cx isnr earning revenue based on what FFP, rather earns revenue if OWE purchase 160 ticket stock lets get that straight.

also for all practical purpose, silvers are nobody. anybody who really think waving silver status with DYKWIA attitude is a laughing stock. I am P1 with qantas (DM+ similar) but i am not a worthy customer, obtained this via creative routing to maximize the credits. i think i am nobody - the real wealthy that makes a diff to CX dont care about FFP they simply fork out ex hk C or D faes.
