125% RDMs on discount NH Y fares?!
I was going to do a longer post to try to log all of the post-integration PQM and RDM levels for *A partners, but the NH ones blew my mind:
http://pss.united.com/CMS/en-US/mark...spx?ItemId=299
For trans-Pacific, intra-Japan w/international connection, and intra-Asia flights (it says 'China/India/Korea/Australia', but based on the values from last week, I think it means 'excluding China/India/Korea/Australia').. RDM values are 125% for coach -- including discount coach! (Y/E/B/M/U/H/Q/V/W/S/L/T/K), 175% for business (J/C/D/Z/P), and 250% for first (F/A). And, NH remains eligible for the "enhanced" elite bonuses.
This seems much more generous than the previous system (why would United give us more miles to fly NH than we would get to fly UA?)
Thoughts?

Lots of stuff in that section of the site is still messed up. I wrote about many of them here: http://boardingarea.com/blogs/thewan...earning-rates/.
