Same Gold.
Previously it was 40K/35K Gold miles to qualify/requalify only achievable on Biz or First Class travel.
Sometime in the middle of last year (2006) Gold miles became obselete and replaced by EQM. 50K EQM to qualify/requalify but econ travels accrue EQM as well. EQM ranges from 30% of distance travelled for cheap L tickets to 100% for full Y tickets and upto 150% for F.
Correction : 150% for A, 200% for F
