So, AC uses Base Fare and YQ, WS uses Base Fare - I assume they don't tack on YQ. It should be the same.
Appreciated and forgot good friend Google. Found AC AQD definition (can't post URL due to fewer than 5 posts). I think that answers my question.
If anyone has feedback/disagreement on my specific scenario I welcome the insights. Using corporate agency I'm only allowed to book lowest logical fare, hence the low AQM earning power. The only way for me to maintain status with AC is through segments, which I have a hard time seeing myself doing year after year. Earning any sort of status with WS would be so much easier and I assume it's better to have some sort of status than none at all.
