I have two BA J RTs this month and the EQDs are awful. $863 for JFK segments regardless of fare paid (25% of distance flown.) This then spills over into the RDMs- 6,387 per segment as a PLT. In Q4 last year I had a comparably priced LHR RT on AA in J and earned 45k RDM. The reason i do the BA bookings is to save my employer a few shekels- and i get to stay on OW which is my preference (and sit in 64K for free )- so net net i am ok with it but it is a bit of an eyeopener.
