Apparently they thought to get some revenue out of the oil industry as well, why else would they provide free benefits?

I've always seen that as more "we depend on the oil industry so we better be nice to them".

I doubt whether KLM is that charitative :-)

Pity...

It's a pity it's going. We noticed here when a colleague tried to enroll on the 1st October. It did seem a bit of an anomaly, being the one industry selected for special treatment.
I can maintain probably a silver card on the cheap economy fares my company buys, but getting into lounges is going to be tricky after next year - somewhat to my surprise I seem to have got to gold.

Friend of mine moved to France a few years ago to work for a local insurance company. He was middle management. In his first week in the job, his assistant "organised" a Platinum card for him. I presume they have some sort of corporate contract where they can hand out a certain number of cards to their staff.

But since that possibility does exist, what is the point of the petroleum program?
