Yeah, from what you posted above you dont sound all that sad
What I am trying to say is that it is NOT an Oneworld rule CX offers priority baggage so they should now remvoe that benefit to Oneworld Emeralds and only offer it to MPOs only.
Agree with what you said re: the customers banking their miles elsewhere. However arguably, a DM+ DM and even GO are still valuable/loyal customers who choose to bank their miles in a less attractive programme in terms of earning miles and attaining status. Surely CX have to fork out less liability to these folks than other people who choose to bank it in those thrid world country AAirlines!
It is sad to see the benefits are taken away, but i am glad CX is also taking it away from other Oneworld members to ensure us loyal MPOs are taken care off properly.
