This is a better point, but I specifically asked about that once, and was told his departure would likely not affect future offerings.

Other factors might, but that would not.

As for loopholes, they changed virtually nothing between v3 and v4. Which means they liked v3.
I meant routing loopholes.

The only "loophole" I saw being closed was routing YQR-YXE via YWG. Which, for most of the year, is the only way to book the ticket.

And if they close "loopholes" like that, then it costs people like me even more money in EYW, which would be a larger incentive to run another one.

They also closed a routing loophole on the Florida flight pass. It used to be possible to do YUL-YHZ/YQB-YYZ-Florida. Got my YHZ and YQB badges this way.

Or, suspension of Altitude membership. =P

Ahem: Elite status game?
