I agree. I think they will either drop the EFD-IAH flights or make them non-EQM (at least at 500 miles a pop).

I actually asked about this whent the new EQM deal hit thinking that a qualifying fare shoud rate EQM on the hop while a discounted fare wouldn't. No real answer from CS, so I droped it.
FWIW

CO flies EFD-IAH (literally, a 40 mile trip or something?).
Southwest has a HUB in Hobby.
The real competition they had was CO's EWR-HOU flights.
Now Southwest is posting a few flights to IAH (I think from BNA?).

For the Y fare EFD-IAH flight, does EQM post like Elite bonuses? That is, the bonus is calculated off of the acutal miles rather than the minimum miles?
I think that's how it's calculated, so I don't think CO is going to sweat the extra 20 miles.

Thank goodness I don't have to put up with this nonsense.
Life is grand over at AA, with award availability at standard levels in F offered consistently to HNL and OGG.
Not to mention Lifetime Elite Status, etc.
I just don't get why anyone is putting up with the latest silliness from DL and CO.
Just know that Gordo laughs all the way to the Bank daily.
