I understand that, but how they are gonna program it? In current earning structure:
1. One flies 10k miles in a ticket, 100% base miles, so 10k EQM, 10k LT.
2. One flies 10k miles in a ticket, 50% base miles, so 5k EQM, 5k LT.
The current structure seems to tie the EQM and LT directly.
If they want more premium tickets, just make EQM count towards LT, then I am the first person to pay $4k J ticket to forget about the upgrade game.
(Well, still have to use up the four eVIPs...)
