Does Delta offer MQM on Midwest coded flights or not
According to the Delta skymiles partner earning charts, you earn 100% rdm on midwest. However, the MQM chart has no entry for Midwest. Should I assume a clerical error or that you really don't get ANY MQM on midwest, only RDM?
Also, assuming you do get MQM's on midwest, would it still apply if I flew a midwest coded flight that was operated by a non-skymiles partner such as frontier?

I've received MQMs, though that was just before the SM/WP merger, so was using NW #. Shows up in my SM account now, though, with both MQM and RDM.
From the DL web site for YX:
Mileage may be earned on all Midwest-operated flights. Earn 100% of actual miles flown (500 minimum). Earn 100% Medallion Qualifying Miles for fare classes: Y, B, H, V, Q, K, W, M, T, R. O. P. Earn Medallion Qualifying Segments for fare classes: Y, B, H, V, Q, K, W, M, T, R, O, P.
So Midwest-operated only--no Frontier

What about YX flight number, operated by F9?
What about a Midwest ticket, with a flight operated by Frontier with a Midwest flight number? If those don't qualify, then there's a huge problem for those of us looking to earn MQMs on Midwest flights, especially since there's currently so much flux in terms of which airline is operating the flight. Technically, as of 11/3, there are no Midwest-operated flights, as all will be operated by Republic, Chautauqua or Frontier. I'll be curious to see how that shakes out before booking on Midwest again.
With the choice of a DL connection out of MSN or a YX nonstop out of MKE, the uncertainty of MQMs certainly favors sticking with Delta.
