Ahhh, the master of disinformation speaks again.
I would like to say at the outset that I am absolutely NO fan of NZ. Firstly they are a memebr of the evil empire (aka Star Allianc), secondly what they did to Ansett was almost criminal.
Having said that though, too much emphasis is being placed on the earning side of the program. What our Master of Disinformation is seemingly ignoring is the redemption side of the changes, namely that if a seat is available for sale then it is also available for redemption.
EVERY FFP in the world has limits on the number of reward seats available - once they are gone you can wriggle and squirm, wih a bit of luck you might be able to get a seat released, but only if you are high status, otherwise you are out of luck.
The changes to the NZ FFP means that ALL seats are available for redemption through Airbucks, something our Master of Disinformation seems to be ignoring.
Sure, his redemption for a flight from CHC-SYD on the eve of a Bledislow Cup match at Homebush *might* be more expensive than what reward flights were previously, but at least he can still get a free flight which he wouldn't have been able to get under the old scheme.
