Dave, it might look attractive for economy seats, but given the going price for an economy seat, say SYD-LAX, is likely to be about 20% of the going price for a J seat, and probably more like 10-15% of an F seat, we suddenly see a J award being five times the "cost" of WHY, and F being 7-10 times the cost of WHY.
Compare that to a pure points redemption program like QF and we see that for the same routing, where J is twice the points of WHY, and F is a 25% premium over J.
But, of course, seat availability in the premium cabins is a lot greater for the NZ new program.
