And there is also the opportunity cost. For example, why would a highly skilled heart surgeon spend an hour, or hours, searching for award flights when they could earn many multiples of the fee spending an extra day in surgery or conducting an additional clinic?
And when they do have a day off, wouldn't they prefer to spend it with family or on the golf course?

I’m not talking about intellectual property Law. I’m saying that you’re paying for something to be found that isn’t readily apparent, that’s IP being exchanged. If it was freely available and obvious, there world be no market for it .
I mentioned that I’ve used the service and several occasions. One was for a return trip to Europe in J at peak time and the other was a more complicated one. But it doesn’t matter whether it’s simple or complicated. It’s simply a matter of whether a person is prepared to pay for service to find award seats rather than doing it themselves .
I said I haven’t seen them sharing itineraries but if there is a time delay in providing a service and publishing it then you’d have to assume that award seats, being rare as they are, would not still be around.
I’ve simply opined that I don’t think people should share their results on AFF of an AFF service that they’ve paid for, when AFF thinks they can do something for a customer that the customer can’t do the for themselves.
