I agree with you.
However, I think the problem is that most people do not earn miles from flying.
I really think there need to be two types of miles. One lets you redeem for a large group of flights, the other lets you redeem for a subset of those flights.
Like how SEs can book into R or I, but anyone else can just do I. But instead of SEs, anyone using "AQM" can book into a better class.
And because AQM come around from actual revenue to the airlines, there's an incentive for this. The 3cpm miles let you book more than the 1cpm miles.
