Base Miles Less Than MQMs on a Trip?

I recently took a flight booked in E class where I received about 2/3s of the posted MQMs as base miles. Has anyone seen this happen before?

Well, since MQMs are earned based on distance and MQDs are earned on ticket price and since you were flying on the cheapest fare class available, I think this is exactly what can happen.

Effective Jan 1, 2015, Delta began awarding redeemable miles based on ticket price rather than distance flown. Lots of discussion here --
