Acrual Premiums in Mileage Plus for CA & FM
OK so I had a few extra minutes of time on my hands and was thinking about the relative accrual premiums in Mileage Plus for CA & FM. Basically I looked at the relative value of miles accrued versus CNY paid where earning 100% mileage for a full Y fare would be 1.00 (or 100%).
Airline = CA
Class......Y....B....M....H....K....L....Q....G... .U....Z....E..
Mileage...100%.100%.100%.100%.100%..50%..50%..50%. .50%...0%...0%

Looks like CA is overall a better FF value! YMMV
(Sorry for all the extra periods but I couldn't get the fixed width fonts to work 'cause the editor insists on removing repeated spacing).

Reason: Typos and all these extra periods to make it readable!
