a final point about the “up to 40% at JV First” — maybe my math is off, but ANA full fare F seems to pay out RDM = BIS x 350%, so that 1/5 is BIS x 70% for PQP - quite generous if you ask me
Yes that's pretty generous, AA and DL have partner F capped at 60% EQD/MQD. But I wonder how many are actually buying full fare F and care about a measly 1K status.
