However, it also looks like there's going to be a decrease in miles earned for booking cheaper Business fare classes. The MAD sector currently earns 8159 Asia Miles, but will now earn 7200 Asia Miles.

The SYD sector gets an increase in earning compared to now - maybe because of increased competition on the route.

So if these numbers are correct, expect a very complicated earnings chart.
