Question: Are you a journalist or a consultant? Why is such information so important to you. Much of this is propriety to various airline companies and as such has never been revealed for competitive reasons, nor is it in the public domain for the most part. Are we doing research for you for which you will be well-paid? Sorry to be such a cynic, but this type of request for info does go beyond the normal curiosity factor. And as CATMAN has noted, our lives are quite busy and while we don't mind contributing to requests for information or ways of maximizing mileage on programs, we don't do other people's paid work, or graduate research projects.

Might I suggest going through the various airline threads and assembling some of the information you need from those discussions which have taken place, particularly on AA, BA and UA forums.

I know I will be criticized for taking this somewhat testy approach to what might otherwise be an innocent question, but...
