If you look at the exorbitant price that AA offered to buy up from under 10k miss in EQMs, I wouldnt get your hopes up that AA would offer any discount at all on EQD shortfalls. The 8k EQM shortfall could easily be met with an outlay of 1/3 the buy up offers that AA was making last year. In terms of EQD, I don't see how this is anything other than the amount of your shortfall, I mean it's not like with an EQM shortfall where they have to set a hypothetical cost to have gotten those EQMs. In this case they know just how much you need to buy up, I wouldn't expect an offer much lower than that.
