As I said before, what KLM did on it's own metal for its elites is between the airline and its frequent fliers. But when you expect the same benefit on NW metal when I don't get that benefit myself, I have a problem with that. What makes you think a NW elite would like to see FD/FB elite getting upgraded on a NW flight on a $400 fare on an 8-13 hour flight when he/she himself could not get upgraded even on a B or a higher fare because all WBC flights had been snatched, or that someone with $1000 M fare on a transatlantic flight could not get upgraded? Now I have an equal chance of being upgraded on NW and KLM flights. FD elites have lost an unpublished benefit we never had even on NW metal but I am shedding no tears. My comments pertian only to the benefit in question on NW metal.
