AA Offers Double EQM, Will Continental?
This is a rhetorical question. It's more of a hint.

Going to agree with my Texas friend J. Edward on this one.

A double RDM program would be much appreciated, though.

I'd go for that before double eQM(wait don't get me wrong if they offer double EQM I'd JUMP on it, but....for the company RDM at some paid intro would be much better)

CO should follow, but only existing Plats are eligible.

Hopefully not, but maybe a bonus of extra miles for segments flown? That would be nice for all the regional flyers.

Actually when I think about it the thing I could see CO doing is keeping everything the same but offering 200% EQMs (instead of 150%) for J/D/F (Y?) fares.
But that said, I still hope they don't do anything.
