New KF redemption rates after 1 March 2012

They may be giving out some Saver J's (as I confirm that I do see the ability to waitlist for them) but at the end of the day, I wonder how many will be available and when one will know they will be available.
Some guy might have finally woken up to the idea that they can let KFs redeem those empty seats that they can't sell. But I wonder when they will have an idea that the seats won't sell anymore and release them out. It is in their interest to fill out the plane, even with redemption pax as we pay fuel charges.
For me, I tend to plan my redemption flights (read vacations) pretty early as I need to also plan my work schedule i.e. as far ahead as 9 months. I would be very concerned if I won't know if I'm flying until say a week before the flight. By that time, the good hotels (read good but cheap) are gone and harder to get choice local tours (and guides).
I shouldn't be so negative on SQ. Let's see how this pans out - and read the fine print.

Might not be good for other elites on other airlines, like myself - but it's about bloody time they stop shortchanging their own members so let's hope they follow through on this.
Agreed on the need to keep reading the fine print.

I wonder if the Cash&Miles proposal has been canned. Probably a step too far for some at SQ, not least those who seemed to give the impression they had no time for us QPP's/TPP's.
Like others though, I await this all becoming official and being able to actually book some of these.
