Then go get some free 10Ks and find out how many awards are given out each year.

If airline A gives out 2 million awards and we the government tell you that 25% of them are standard awards is this going to be any more useful to you than the anecdotal evidence that some people get standard awards to Hawaii and some don't.

If airline B gives out 1 million awards and we the government tell you that 50% of them are standard awards is this going to be any more useful to you than the anecdotal evidence that some people get standard awards to Hawaii and some don't.

Oh wait lets also find out what percentage of those awards go to the elite flyers as opposed to those whom only earn mileage from non-flying. Must be a large segment of the population who want that information.

Find your recommendation that my response to the OT (believe you meant OP or TO) whom suggested we the government fund his scheme was OMNI to be a distasteful opinion. YMMV
