BAEC "Enhancements" on the way

[Flashback]

"We want to enhance our reward programme for Executive Club Members".

Not really what you want to see on a Friday afternoon, or ever really - regarding a loyalty program. Enhancements are never good.

I've had plenty of op-ups as a gold, in fact I got upgraded on 11 out of 12 flights on LHR-DEL-LHR.

Mabe they were the results of Y0, rather than anything else.
