The $9,000 is temporary due to covid. Its $15,000 otherwise. So what I would expect is them to raise it because simple enough to do when covid is messing with everything. Then they will give a temporary reduction like they did this year. No reason to drag it out yet another year if they think the market is strong enough for them to do changes.
The other thing that people are missing is that these new EQD would be reduce or get ride of the milage requirement entirely as well. Look to UA for inspiration.
