Well, I gave a good value vote for the 50% point bargains which I like. Apart from that I´m afraid EB will not return to the top league this year but rather stick with the infamous 2006 result.
I guess this will still help to keep ranking low:
-25% earnings (is that still around!)
-No upgrade vouchers or the like for EBGs who earn over the top mileage
-Zero recognition by crew for EBG.
-General lack of extra mileage opportunities.
-Too few partners (and partners doesn´t know they are partners)
