I didn't know that YQ on revenue and redemption tickets can be different. That would explain a lot, i.e. UA charging high YQ for revenue but no FFP charges YQ for UA redemption. On the other hand it's still hard for me to imagine that SK or UA get charged by LHG 900+ USD YQ but don'tt pass it along to the customer. LHG US->EU redemptions would be strongly loss making for SK or UA while UA redemptions would be highly profitable.
I mean, if you want to believe that A3 just makes up YQ numbers out of thin air, that's your prerogative, even after you've been told multiple times that's not the case.
