It was realistic pre-2016. There still are EY DMs but they fly long-haul Y as well. It is honestly very impressive because even for PEY you'd have to do 8-10 long-hauls. That is why I think it is not wise to drive this group of customers away.
Perhaps the changes are to combat the increased number of DMs. There are more than 40K of us now.
