This is a closely held confidential yield management formula.

Worldperks makes it easier for the most frequent flyers to get standard availability because these pax spend the most with NWA and their satisfaction with award redemption (availability) is the most important.

Less frequent pax and occassional worldperk base members can still find std awards with the new award availability enhancements ay nwa.com.

Looks like I will not be able to see any official NWA documentation on this. Does anyone have any anectodal evidence of this policy? i.e. I am a PE and can get 10 std award tickets in October while my wife is SE and can only get 4?
