Hello, JDiver. Thank you for getting the wiki started.
I'm a bit confused over how 500-mile minimums now work compared to the old EQP system. Yesterday I took the LAX-SJC segment, which is 308 base miles according to AA. This segment was a B fare, so according to AA's chart I receive 1.5 EQM per mile flown (462 EQM). My EQM counter increased by 500 miles when this segment posted overnight due to the 500-mile minimum, but I believe this behavior is different than what the old system would have calculated. Under the old system, would I have received 750 EQP for this B fare segment?
I am flying the same segment roundtrip on a P fare - to attend the Pan Am Experience with a fellow FlyerTalk member
- next month, so based on this behavior I'd expect to see the EQM counter increase by 616 miles per segment.
