Noted in post #15. The originating point is still not addressed in that the number of miles/points is not directly related to revenue, which allows me to earn 6000+ base miles on an $88 fare while while other people earn only 1000 and pay $350. And that's still not paying enough for that route to qualify as Y/B fare class, so there's no bonus.
