One of my current itins, IAD-DEN-RAP (r/t) is showing 8k for the first offer, and 12k for the second, with the PQM priced at 8.5 cpm and the RDM at 3.05 cpm, if that helps.

All of my itins are offering PQM at 8.5 cpm, even up to the 75k PQM an IAD-BKK itin is offering. The RDMs seen to vary greatly between 2.1 and a hair over 3 cpm.
