Those of us who aim to hit status thresholds know the actual miles given for the segments that we fly and we plan accordingly. <shrug>
Agreed with you.

I'm just perplexed about why we are ALWAYS getting less than what AC publishes. Not a big deal. But AC could save a lot of miles if they shortchange everybody in every flight by 5 miles each. Just like if a utility company charges everybody 1 penny extra per bill, nobody would complain but they could make a good few extra thousand dollars a month.
