It would be interesting to know (leaving pure MR folks aside) what the distribution of biz flying 1Ks is in terms of miles flown per year. I.e., what percent fly 100-110K, 110-125k etc. I would still guess that most existing biz 1ks (i.e., those that fly mainly for business with a few personal trips thrown in but no MRs) will keep their 1K status with the new rules. It only takes a few last minute trips or a modest proportion of trips that are short haul vs transcon to get quite a boost in overall cpm numbers.
