Good point MarkD. That's certainly the one thing that doesn't make sense. I'm not really in to sending letters off to companies as I did in this case (well, an email), but may I suggest as many of you do the same, then EI might see sense. All of is just complaining here isnt going to change anything, but if they actually start getting letters from "disappointed" passengers who also threaten to opt for other airlines if their FF programme is axed, might just make EI / TAB think twice about this latest stupid change at EI.
