My suggestion is that we should write.Will that work? Well they have reversed other impopular rules like the maximum KG per suit case to the US....

So give it a try, I did!

As a NW PE for a number of years, I am glad this is ending. I am not sure why NW agreed to such different upgrading rules for FD. With FD folks upgrading from anyfare, it was very dificult for WP elites to get upgrades even on on B or Y fare. KLM can do anything it wants on its metal but this benefit extended to NW metal also. However, I understand it's hard to give up a benifit you are used to, and feel cheated when you have to regardless of the fact that it makes the pot equally accessible to WP elites. Why can't you buy a WBC fare or an award ticket like most of us do since we can't be sure of being upgraded with miles.
