I'm fine with going to a mile-less qualification system. But with some obvious questions on how the program moves forward.

1) How would it effect rollover MQM for 2025? (Conversion to a set amount of points?)
2) How would it effect earning on partners?
*(If they copy UA on this and cap earning on these flights, as UA has, to 1500 points per flight segment, it would be *terrible* for most long haul biz tickets which from the west coast are easily $4.5-5K. - will be really annoyed if they do this).
3) Would they switch to an AA-style or UA-style qualification system, where AA offers tons of flexibility based on CC spend on the ground. UA has spending thresholds with boosters.
