Out of their 2 annual RTs to India, they just have to take 1 trip (actually just one way, either way) to/from India in a fare bucket that earns 100%... rest of the trip can be in lowest bucket and they should still make 35K.

No.

Thanks to the latest "enhancements" at AC, *G is 50k miles, not 35k. In addition, (very high) fuel surcharges are now levied on partner awards. There are a bunch of other "enhancements" that have happened as well which makes AC one of the poorer FFPs in *A.
