That said, I am not sure that F earnings are terribly significant for most flyers. C/J earnings are more typical of most premium class flyers.
Depending on status and airline flown, you can earn:
With BA: between 150% and 250% .
With BD: between 200% and 435%.
With AF: between 125% and 275% on long-haul and between 175% and 350% within Europe.
However if we want the real picture we need to look at what those miles really get you and I think we both know that an AA mile will get you a lot more than either BD or LH. Even BA is more competitive than BD/LH on some segment lengths.
