Maybe the responder meant EQM's and EQS's? I took one of these in November that took me off a crowded CLT to DFW flight onto two less crowded flights... CLT to GPT, GPT to DFW. Plus I was able to a complimentary upgrade fro GPT to DFW. End result was +200 EQM and +1 EQS which could come in handy since those flights count towards elite status this year.
