I was amazed as well, but Swiss isn't stingy with their miles.
When flying coach for the route you only get 125 miles each way but when flying business you get 2000 each way.

"You will receive the following miles for the trip you specified:
Mileage accrual*
4.000"
That is only if crediting to M+M. And it is a reasonably generous program for paid premium cabin travel, similar to most European programs. The US-based programs are not nearly as generous in general on paid forward cabin fares.

If you are crediting to CO you have to use the CO rules, not the M+M rules. You will not earn 4000 EQMs for the trip and definitely not 6000. It will be 1500 at most. If you plug in your status, the operating carrier and the specific fare basis at http://tools.wanderingaramean.com/to...alculator.aspx it will give you more specific details for the route.
