So that means that at the same medallion level, fare class, etc without a Reserve card, medallions that qualified using AMEX exemption are ranked above those who qualified with normal MQD spend. That has the potential to be HUGE!
I should hit PM soon again with AMEX spend so i'm looking forward to seeing how the priority changes.
Yes but what about folks who have met the MQD spend, AND hold a Reserve, AND have $25k+ on the Reserve? I think that puts us on the UG list for seat 1P, no?

Doesn't the new DL.com language include something about "fare class families"? Is this a thing, where groups of fare classes make up a family (YBM/SHQK/LUTXV)?
If so, that greatly changes the prior equation on how UG priority is determined. Could mean that a corporate K fare trumps a consumer S fare. And with the removal of Y-class priority, that someone on an M fare trumps full-Y.
Of course, FPAG still trumps all of those.
