I'm glad you qualifed your statement with "likely". There's at least a few of us posting here on FT that believe we'd have more lifetime miles toward MM status if CO based the numbers on BIS miles (as UA did) and not EQMs. If fairness is what one is seeking, in addition to crediting UA flyers with any bonus EQMS, CO flyers who earned only 50% EQMs should be credited with the additional BIS miles earned on those flights.
