That is because, Jacob, the communication from BD has been quite appauling (surprise, surprise ), contradictory, and sometimes totally non-existent (they have not replied to letters and e-mails for e.g.). In other words, we don't know yet whether some of the changes - that we know, 100%, that they had intended to announce (like no lounge access) and have made one or two vague references to in Press Releases - will indeed be implemented.

This is good news btw, because we also now know that BD / DC management were very surprised - the words "shocked" and "amazed" have been used in fact - at the reaction of BD FTers, other FFs and businesss pax etc, and are possible re-examining whether some of the changes are a good idea afterall ! That said, things like required SSCI and no miles on Tiny fares have been fully announced and I doubt, very much, will be abandoned - much of it is here to stay, but our opinions may change one or two things we hope.

BTW, I suggested making a Sticky once 5 Threads started discussing all this but the concensus on the Forum was that each Thread dealt with a different aspect and so they should be left as they are. The new Sticky however - where we have been asked to pose questions that will be made to BD management - is the best place to look, cos the questions there contain concise and specific details of where we THINK the changes will be taking things.

Please join the fight guys while we still have a chance to change things !
