[B]It's my opinion but I find that it is really not hard at all to price runs that are 2 cents per earned mile. Elite bonuses (100%) help and special promotions can help but sometimes the routings are just too darn good. For example, I booked me a $151 NW SEA-BNA fare that would net less than 2 cents per status mile (hence less than 1 cent per earned mile).

I need some confirmation here...

SEA-BNA nets 3954 status miles approx roundtrip or 7908 earned miles (assuming 100% Elite bonus).

So if I'm correct, this $151 tkt would net cost/mi of:
$.0381 per status mile
$.0190 per earned mile

Who's correct? Sorry for any confusion caused, tx.
