But Shannon wrote here that all EQM's count from the beginning of the program. Maybe Shannon didn't write that correctly which is why I'd like to see some clarification from United. The MP rep I spoke to on the phone today thought it would count, but I could tell she really didn't know what was going on. My first clue was that she wasn't aware of any kind of EQM's counting and had to go ask someone about it.
