Thanks

Actually, I believe that the EQM are very clear at the LATER time. That is in the EQM column at the end for post-Feb 1.

I think it is the RDM for non-AA that is yet to be determined (they say as much explicitly).

I believe (as others have also opined) that the (elite qualifying) on the Base Miles for post-Feb 1 is a mistake from the prior table. If that were not there, it would be very clear:

After Feb 1, EQM go by the EQM column. And this continues indefinitely with no change in the foreseeable future.

After Feb 1, RDM will be based on the Base Miles column. And these have nothing to do with "Elite Qualifying."

Somewhere later the RDM equation will change, but this has yet to be determined beyond the notion that a change IS coming.

Cheers.
