Wait, BE doesn't get PQF? The FAQ at mileageplusupdates.com seems to indicate otherwise:
Premier qualifying flights are similar to Premier qualifying segments, but we’ve removed fare class multipliers. A takeoff and landing is equal to 1 PQF.
Also defined at
Earning miles on United flights:
For flights departing on or after January 1, 2020
There will be no fare class multipliers for qualification in 2020.
This defines that the PQS multiplier for 1.5x (B or higher) and 0.5x (existing BE) are going away, and everything will be 1x. And even a BE fare certainly has a takeoff and landing.
I sure hope my understanding is correct!
