Ah, gotcha. Sorry.

But I still disagree with "Also AA pro-rates EQDs based on mileage." We can use 35% of the fare, based on the distance, as an estimate, if all the segments are in the same fare class. But there is no reason to think that that is the way AA does it, and the actual EQD may deviate quite a bit from it.
