I miss the good old days too - and if you want 100% mileage accrual on any Y flight then TK M&S might not be a good choice for you.

Most cheap fare I bought from TK are actually V class including a flight from Europe to IAH. I have only bought a P fare once since they changed the earning table. Considering for what I paid I think 50% is acceptable - try SQ, TG or even NZ, you are very likely to get nothing for a moderately priced ticket.

Indeed, on the other hand now that I have priority select through Amex, I guess I won't miss elite membership that much. Elite actually meant something years ago as I would get random upgrades when the flight was full but last time I got one was flying to JFK from Istanbul 8 years ago.

Actually there's some value to be had in priority for airport upgrades with miles. I recently couldn't secure an upgrade with miles in advance but mentioned this at the checkin and later a TK rep in LAX came searching for me in the lounge to ask me if I still wanted to upgrade since they got a noshow in biz or something like that, and that if I wasn't interested they're going to offer it to someone with lower status than me... went over to the gate with him, signed the piece of paper, and off I was on arguably the best miles redemption possible (LAX-IST) that's extremely difficult to reserve in advance

It would be nice if they introduced some additional perks for E+.
There is currently zero incentive to credit more than the required, laughable 40k miles for status renewal.
I booked my upcoming IST-EZE trip with AZ, due to status match, 325% mileage credit and window seats with direct aisle access on the FCO<>EZE legs.
TK should offer perks for those, flying significantly more than their E+ requirements.

Agree with Vivamuci on this front : as E+ , renewed until 2019, I see little incentive to continue crediting miles and / or buying TK flights
. Any thoughts on what kind of perks / incentive/ POSITIVE enhancements we would all like?
Alternatively, where are you all looking for as other programs to accrue on?
I've begun exploring One World. to my own surprise
