I realise this isn't a purely BA topic, but this is the deepest pool of knowledge and opinions on FT so I'm sure you can enlighten me.
Oneworld have defined the minimum tiers levels as Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. Along with setting out some expected levels of benefits for those tiers. Such as check in, boarding, luggage and lounge. I'd like to say statutory benefits but it probably isn't.
Oneworld are also operating airport lounges now and effectively defining the minimum standards for those.
Why then don't we have a Oneworld FFP. Which defines the minimum qualifying criteria be that in sectors, flights, miles, or dare I say currency and allow people to credit their flights to such a defacto Oneworld scheme. Airlines would still be able to offer their own scheme with different terms, but the baseline would be set by Oneworld.
