So, it's at least really possible to dodge the 75K RDM limit by getting ticket re-issued by making changes on the way, before the cap would apply.
Interesting, and thanks for letting us know
One thing though - typically an xONEx has more than one e-ticket number. Believe it or not, the 'modern' electronic ticket system still reflects the old paper tickets: a ticket has four coupons, each representing a segment. If your itinerary has 16 segments (and all of ours do right?) then you will have four e-tickets in your itinerary.
My just issued by QF DONE5 has four e-tickets, numbered sequentially.
So if is truly at the e-ticket level, then we should have no problem with the 75,000 mile limit
