Like just dropping EQMs, leaving EQPs and segments (as many here have suggested; I'm pretty sure I suggested that right around the time the merger was announced)? If they make a change like this, there would be no reason I can think of to keep EQMs (unless EQPs in the discount buckets go down even more, to 50% of EQMs or 25% of miles flown).
They could also, of course, rename EQPs to EQMs and drop the current EQMs.
In the past, iirc, O class fares did not earn on certain flights, e.g. S. America?
Correct.
