Changes to Fare Basis Format
Received the following message last night. I'm not sure if this is merely a change to the layout/position of the farebasis in their farerules (for IT purposes) or if it's the a precursor for a future change to the fare basis themselves.
...which might then have implications to earning rates.

Changes to our fare basis format in the GDS
As bmi is now part of the Lufthansa Group, we are making some changes to the structure of our fare basis format in the GDS. The changes will be effective from 5 August 2010.
As a consequence we will be able to offer you a largely automated data tracking system for contracted corporate flown revenue via an OSI entry. The current process of tracking corporate fares will continue until further notice, so please ensure that your MIS Department continues to submit monthly ticketed data as normal until we advise otherwise.
Revised ticketing instructions for all bmi contracted clients will be forwarded to you and your corporate clients shortly. These corporate ticketing instructions will note a new corporate fare basis for every contracted corporate fare and a new OSI remark which needs to be noted in every PNR.
Should you have any queries regarding this change please contact your bmi Account Manager.
