Talk about a "soft landing"...my BE flights this year earning 150% MQMs now will earn 0% MQM next year. I am sure there will be a corresponding decrease in price? 😂

I know we called Main Cabin upcharges a "tax" for Medallion Status benefits before, but now there is a tax to even earn status in the first place! I always flew with my family of 4 in BE since there was literally no benefit to me as a PM when traveling with them (lounge access, C+, upgrades). So why should I now pay hundreds of $$$ more to fly us all in Main Cabin to earn MQMs...when there is no benefit afforded to me anyway on most of my flights to begin with?
