Very interesting and eye opening. The carriers are using their FF programs as collateral!

Yes. Indeed he has. It is very interesting to see it coming to public light now and especially the fact that they are mortgaging their futures on their FF programs.

Hopefully we will be reaping the benefits for years to come now as they will need to be super nice in order to win back business.

Interesting but this thread probably belongs on the up in the air board.

Someone should forward this to ELAL management or to the new owners
