Just a thought - will this be the end of using Finnair/Qantas/QR etc to change BA bookings?
If permission is going to be required to access the bookings - how many of those airlines will go about setting up the mutual access and then what about those smaller travel agencies?

I like the ease of adding both flights and hotels to TripIt, and its integration with the Calendar. In the absence of My Flights, the T-3 day flight monitoring might be worth paying for (but only based on public information I assume), but is there a better alternative?

Am I understanding correctly that the data will still be searchable via PNR/surname through Amadeus, just 3rd party platforms can’t access/share this data without individual airline agreements? If so this is absurd. Very sad to see My Flights go, nothing remotely similar in terms of information and alerts.
I’m happy to take the hit and take over development out of Amadeus’ reach. Will need FT’s to crowdfund my new life’s in Belize though.

As I mentioned earlier, without MyFlights and FlightTrack Pro, it's been a real downgrade in the experience and I've tried many other apps but have been unable to get a comparable experience. For example, one thing I really liked about FlightTrack Pro was quick access to is historical data for a flight, e.g. show me the past 30 days of arrival times for a particular flight (most services only go back a day or a week). Even ExpertFlyer which I value highly only goes back one day prior.

Does it accept uploads (e.g. CSV file)? Ideally I would like to get an extract from MyFlights and upload it in to another flight logging site.

What's the closest alternative to MyFlightsApp in terms of entering PNR and tracking all ticket/flight changes - either free or subscription based?
Or... are CheckMyTrip / TripIt Pro / TripCase the only alternatives?

There are no alternatives that do exactly what MyFlights did. TripIt monitor only schedule change from 24 h before the flight, CeckMyTrip is limited to schedule change and not airframe changes, seat roulette, etc...

Am I right in my assumption that there is nothing on the market that will pick up (a) seat changes and (b) access to the fare code, by which i mean the long alphanumeric from which one can derive rules on changes, stopovers, etc.?
