I kinda like it

While I hate the eroding of benefits in general, since BE isn't earning loyalty points, the people in BE arent earning status through flying (at least recent flying if they have lifetime status). I earned 250K loyalty points from flying last year and it's irritating when people who step on a plane are being upgraded ahead of me. I was 18th on the wait list on Monday.

Anything that balances that out is good for my selfish reasons.
