Re: FF program.

IMHO: The QF gift to EK is for 10 years correct? So EK has 10 years to rape all westbound QF pax while honouring the QF FF program. Result: QF FF program on the international side has 10 years at most until oblivion and the point when EK refuses to honour QF FF points. The reality will be about half that time I think, because EK will have slaughtered what's left of QF's international customer loyalty and I can't see QF having any financial capability left to run connecting flights to code share. EK will own the routes in their entirety and QF international will be relegated to a few remaining southern Asia connections and possibly the US (but I doubt it) still. What QF does with the excess 380's will be anyone's guess.
