no, the newcomers are those big spenders who should by rights have had GGL but couldn’t hit the 5000TPs - it’s a big ask even at 420 per F round trip.

And the hobby GGLs will mostly be dropping out, but we’re a thin skim on total GGLs. So it’ll balance out.

If you’re doing it for arbitrage it’s tough to get a positive outcome now. There will be some hobbyists who stick with it for other reasons, though, there are also ego considerations and personal branding in play.
