Since they're not specifically addressed in the upcoming changes as earning 150% (as F, C, J, D, Z, Y, and B are), maybe they're dropping it to 100%. I'd rather they didn't, but it does kind of make sense.
They are retiring "A" Class and converting them to "Z". See this post frrom CO Insider from the Mileathon thread...sorry...no link to the post cause I don't know how to link to a single post.
"If you're buying an A class fare for travel a little further out, there's some good news. Next month, we'll be retiring the letter A from our fare class lineup, and the fares currently sold as A class will turn into Z class for travel on or after Oct. 25, 2009. This means if you buy an A class fare for Oct. 25 or later, your booking will be converted into Z class and you'll get the corresponding Z class Mileathon credit. If you're traveling Oct. 24 or before, however, you're out of luck."
