That makes sense. i was actually thinking about these ...(i have way too much time
)
Code:
#Total Flown Miles
#Total Number of years spent as Plat
#Total Number of years spent as Gold
#Total Number of years spent as Silver
#Flight Pattern
##Domestic Trips (US50,Mex,Canada,Caribbean)
##International Trips
##History of Paid JCZ
##History of Paid PF
##History of Paid YBM
#Total Miles since enrollment
#Total number of past trips on that particular route (particular routes might
have a slightly different version of EUA algo running and the LT value might
include this factor to reward certain fliers who have taken a route
consistently in the past??? This makes sense??)
#Total miles posted through other skyteam partners
#Total Mileage earned though others
#Are you Russ' friend?
LOL.
This is just for fun. I believe the other three factors break the tie most all times before long term value becomes a deciding factor.
