Also don't talk to me about "full price". You're on Flyertalk.
Perhaps airlines should start treating full-fare paying passengers better than elites traveling on discount economy tickets.
All elites have a PQD requirement. Good luck spending 12k a year if you are buying cheaply seats. I would argue most leisure travelers book way in advance, much cheaper than most elites who have last minute business travel. I've paid ~$400- $500 for SFO to SNA and LAX to LAS dozens of time. I can't imagine leisure travelers doing that.
