I am also concerned about how they will calculate revenue. I usually buy a lot of multi-segement, multi-airline tickets issued by other *alliance carriers. For example, if I buy a LH issued ticket and the outbound is on LH while the return is on UACO, how much value will UACO attach to the return flight? (Perhaps only one segment out of 4 on a ticket.) And, will we know this amount in advance of booking? I suspect that UACO may only count revenue from UACO issued tickets.
