It seems to me it's obvious why the double EQM/MQM promos are going on. It's all about loads now that some price hikes are in the system. All of these airlines hedge fuel. They are likely 6-12 months behind on fuel prices. So the EQM/MQM gets the loads up and butts in seats while they have margins again. For that reason alone NW should be pushing promos that don't reduce fares.
