What the DEQM gave me was about 17k additional EQM. While I would have gotten it sooner or later, since I need to retain Plat as a NWA refugee, it is nice to have a bit of pressure taken off.
I will be flying on CO in Biz this year, but it's all from burning NW miles. I aim to have all my NW miles gone before I drop down to dirt next year.
