Yeah, but for someone who flies a lot on cheap fares, giving them Medallion is not cutting into your Y seats or F seats. MBY seats get preferred seating like Medallion regardless of status, and you have to buy K+ to upgrade. So for someone who travels a lot for leisure like me they're not losing a whole lot because, I don't really get the opportunity to upgrade, because I'd rather pay the inexpensive fare. If they go to that system, I can easily make status on someone else, and I reckon I'm not the only person whos in the same boat, so by going to a fare based system I think they'd be shooting themselves in the foot
