Yes. That is the accepted understanding but I am not 100% convinced. Can anyone say why UA would make this exception and then list the PQD's earned on such flights in the MP statements but then back those PQD's out when assessing GS qualification? It seems logical that UA would want its customers to book the "016" flights through UA as a portion of those dollars stays with UA, no? Not all that important as the "016" PQD's are not a lot but am trying to kill some time here at TXL
