There is no doubt the QF FF scheme has lost much of its appeal. Long time loyal users feel and see this the most. It's a sad day when senior tier FF's can no longer find a simple international classic redemption without extraordinary effort and time devoted to the task - and even then still failing to find anything suitable. Then we are told ad nauseam nothing has changed and in fact more classic reward seats are available than ever before. We all know, anecdotally at least, that's an outright lie.
