United says this will generate PQDs.
As to the benefit, UA can now definitively know how much revenue its US based 1Ks (the sub 1Ks have trivial ways to bypass the PQD requirement, and so they are not a concern until the PQD waiver is unwaived) bring to its partners and use this as a stick when dealing with its partners.
