Where do you get that info? There was no statement on MM benefits in the information that I saw. Yes, if MM stays as 50K 1P, then in 2012 they will go down a level in upgrade priority. I'm still waiting to see if they continue the MM benefits as 1P (*G) at all. As long as they keep that , I'm not that worried about being 3rd or 4th tier as on most routes, being 3rd disqualifies you from getting an upgrade through UDU (1K/GS take all the seats). When a route is light on elites (DEN-LAS), I don't think that it will matter at all.
