hmm. doesn't this mean that if you are a Skywards silver member you can now check in 44kg worth of luggage as a Y class pax? i sure hope they can sustain it. haha. lots of uk-based students will start taking EK now.
I think I'd rather have no allowance at all than fly a US carrier
I don't think you need to fly a U.S. carrier for this; SQ, BA, LH, etc. operate on piece-allowance ex-U.S. (e.g. for Y class it's 2 x 23 kg allowance, if I'm not mistaken).

No status. Checked in all my textbooks and a bike on EK to the UK 11 years ago! Did not have to pay a single cent/penny for excess luggage. Def more than 44 kg.

It is not just US carriers. For all major airlines (and many not so major) if your ticket includes North America (start, finish or in the middle) then weight-based baggage allowance applies.
