500 (MMG) = 500 EQM
400 (BASE) * 1.5 = 600 EQP
I'm Plat and just did TPE-HKG-TPE in C class. Here's what posted:
02/16/07 CATHAY PACIFIC 468 C HKG TPE 484 605 1,089
02/14/07 CATHAY PACIFIC 451 C TPE HKG 484 605 1,089
First off, how does AA get 484 as the mileage from TPE-HKG? Great circle shows its 501 and CX shows its 522. Shouldn't AA take CX mileage since they actually fly it not AA? Second, isn't AA shorting me 16 miles each way in RDM?
484 (base) + 121 (COS) + 500 (elite) = 1105.
Watch me come up 32 miles short for an award.
