The BA move to revenue-based status is definitely a big deal. Do you think this could backfire by alienating frequent flyers who fly short-haul but often? Or is it just the natural evolution of airline loyalty programs?
Not likely the ones who pay higher fares to fly those routes, which is more what the financial team is looking for.
