(Given I'd already made EXP for 2005, I decided not to bother calling back; if it had mattered, I would have.)

And the EQP is based on the fare basis, not where you sit, just as when you upgrade with miles, VIPs or 500 mile upgrades, you earn on the fare basis you paid for your ticket, again, not where you sit.

See AA's 2004 Elite Qualification Requierements page for more information.
