AC has clearly said to their own flyers: unless you are a corporate backed flyer and thus pay double for Flex over Tango, you will not be getting points, its that simple. They have clearly made their policies clear that they dont want any out-of-pocket elites.
Do you have any empirical evidence to support these rather curious assertions, or are you just making it all up as you go along?

In any event, the AC earnings for P fares are particularly generous compared to what most *A carriers will pay.
