This change is sure to cause many problems with FFB members of old. In the May cover story of InsideFlyer, we address the meaning of certain terms you may find in the fine print (or even in the large print!). Among them is the term, "indefinitely." While the technical definition may leave some room for interpretation on TWA's part, frequent flyers were definitely lead to believe that the equity chart would last forever. What can we do to fight the change? Well, always remember that these are loyalty programs. If you don't think they measure up, or if you aren't happy with the changes or their attitude, then switch your loyalty. You may never have the satisfaction of knowing first hand what it means to TWA to lose your business, but rest assured, this is the most powerful way to demonstrate that you are not happy. Another way to try to effect a change is to write to TWA, especially if you're an elite member. But simply having been loyal to TWA since 1989 ought to be enough for them to take note and listen. TWA has been through some rough times since then, and if you've stayed with them, you have definitely demonstrated your loyalty. The airlines really do listen, and they really do want your business. In speaking with our sources at TWA, I know that the last thing they wanted when they implented the new Aviators program was to alienate the flyers who have been with them the longest, and if that happens, they will make changes. Finally, keep speaking your mind on FlyerTalk. Others are likely to join you and help flood TWA offices with the needed mail to prompt a change.
