-E fares are eligible for complimentary Medallion upgrades (on domestic part of international itinerary)
So, it looks like all this speculation about earning no miles or MQMs is off-base. It appears they were just so new that nobody really knew much about them and finally DL has loaded them into the system and are not coding them as an award class of service
Off base?
Just stop. Tell your boss that they need to communicate this externally, prior to selling the GD fares in the first place.
Out of curiousity, what % will these miles earn? Does your INTERNAL MESSAGE say that?
The only thing OFF-BASE in this thread is Delta, for not communicating this properly.
