F will still be full. For non impacted ExAts already over the $15k EQD, what does it matter how many places below you others are, if they are already below you? Exp Desk is already a shell if it’s former self.

Where is the advantage to high value fliers of the higher EQD requirement,, other than knowing its more exclusive.
