Of course, this is the 30 or so days notice that all the programs promise in their terms and conditions. If all the changes were positive, NW would have no reason at all to wait to make any announcements, would they?
I hate to say it, but I have a sinking feeling you are right. Have they ever waited this late to announce the changes? I seem to remember it usualy happening earlier. They might have hooked all the plats in by waiting that long, but still doesn't matter. They change the program for the worse, the elites will just leave in droves starting February.
