I remember lilfe as a 2P and was 1P for many years.... even then I never understood why the EQS ratio was 30/60/100 instead of 25/50/100.

If you think about it, there is absolutely no correlation of EQM to EQS. One is a measure of distance and the other frequency. It's like Hertz vs. Amps in measuring electricity - they're both related to the same topic but totally different units of measurement.

If UACO really wanted to squeeze in a 1P+ tier the "most fair" way would be to standardize the tiers to 25/50/75/100 across the board for both EQMs and EQS.

It seems to me that the only internal discussion was centered around how "90 is too close to 100" so they raised the later instead of thinking through the ramifications to those impacted. The message it sends is: "we only care about the mileage flyer. The rest of you can get bent."

120 segments is a really high bar to clear for almost all but the most dedicated of segment flyers. 100 is tough enough as it is. I've said it before: if you think it's "easy" to make 1K on segments then you've obviously never done it.
