I'm not talking about them refusing to combine total miles, just elite qualifying miles for 2014.
And how many would be upset over not combining EQMs. At least those who have already booked *A or OW travel - heaven forbid that one of those trip EQMs not count. Those who have already traveled? Heaven forbid that those EQMs don't count. Far more people could be affected adversely by your scheme than would gain from just combining EQMs.
