I just feel that loyalty is slighted for those with this requirement who go out of his/her way to choose CO over anyone else but are not rewarded for this loyalty by CO. I already booked the higher fares through my TA because I like the chances of the upgrades. But, with a lot of my rides on barbie jets (EMB's) and paying astronomical fares for short hops, it is the least CO could do. 50% mileage I can live with, but the EQP is really what us short hoppers want.

I mentioned this in another thread. The flights that qualify for 50% EQM because they're booked through the corporate travel dept. should also qualify for 50% EQP (half-point)
