Well, if it's revenue-based, revenue is revenue, regardless of where they derive it from (AS selling bunches of EQMs to AA/DL/AF for someone, or someone flying AS, or any combination thereof).
I suspect it would be hard to be in the top 10% revenue MVPGs without flying a good chunk on AS, though.

So platinum would be based on revenue and not segments or miles?
It wouldnt be say....75K on AS metal or 90 segments type of thing?
And if it is I think that the partner miles qualification should be double that in miles! I suppose if I was racking up those kinds of miles annually with long trips to Europe and Asia all the time I would probably be banking my elite miles with some larger airline that served the destinations I frequent rather than dabble around banking my EQMs on a relatively small player like AS
I guess to each his/her own

There's no way i can rack up that much AS metal travel...they must be interested in taking care of a pocket full of elites.
They are already taking care of a small select bunch of "VIP"s, but what that even entitles i do not know.

75,000 miles on AS metal seems very tough. If i flew from BOS to PDX once a month i would only be at 60,000 miles.
I think $ based sounds good to me. I pay 1/20th of the price of a resident of Alaska to do the same number of miles. The $1000 I paid to do 20,000 miles = 1x RT ANC-DUT which is only 1400 miles. They should get more recognition
