Bummer.
Yup, seem *A is going down the toilet. To add insult to injury:
bmi: Well, may as well fly EasyJet after 1 Aug
SK: Now UA MP get 25% miles on fares below W. To top it off, those fares put you into SK's new enhanced Punishment Class (pay for food AND drinks (i.e water & coffee!)
LH: Now UA MP gets no points on L/T fares.
UA: Now charging for booze long haul. No more free meals in USA (except PS-Service).
Add to that UA/AC/RG/US in bankruptcy.
Enough to make you hop over to OW!
