I agree with most of what you said, but the status miles needed for keeping SEN are still calculated according to the old system, only the reward miles are revenue based.

Back in the good old days even the cheapest business class inside Europe gave full miles. Not to mention all sorts of promotional campaigns for earning extra miles - haven't seen those in years. It truly has become much harder (and more expensive) to keep status.

Back in the good old days someone reported to have flown 10 x business returns UK - LH/LX hub - XXX at 2,500 miles per segment and renewed their SEN status.

At least for some, as most of my flying has always been long-haul. But even there, it is often worthwhile to fly with a different *A carrier in the business cabin and get a lot more miles than on LH group flights/tickets.

I was a 2* SEN before I defected to A3 and now I'm M&M blue just using it to pick up P fares retrospectively.
I have asked for a blue bag tag with my stars on it but they won't give me one!

And the prices for those „cheap“ P fares are very far from cheap.
Back on Topic: Status Stars are a joke. They are good for absolutly nothing. You are spammed with ridiculous expensive offers for somewhat more or less exclusive events.
Just ignore then.
