Bonus EQM for AS flight in full Y?
When I called DL SMS to find out about this, the representative said that I would indeed get the same MQMs as I would on a DL flight in a premium coach fare class (Y, B, M). However looking on the DL website today I see no mention of bonus MQMs on ANY AS coach fare, only 150% MQM for paid F. My miles for my DFW-SEA flight from Thursday haven't yet posted but I thought I'd pose the question here and find out the definitive answer.

As of late November, 2009...
Here's the pertinent information from my SkyMiles account statement for my flight on AS on November 29, 2009:
29NOV2009 AS 0001 Y/Y DCA - SEA 2,328 1 2,328
100% Platinum Medallion Bonus 2,328
So, there it is. Unless something has changed in the past 60 days or so that no one knows about, the answer appears to be no Y-class MQM bonus for flying Y on AS.

NW offered a Y bonus
Only NW gave 50% Bonus Eqm on Y fares. DL never did..... There is on an F fare though.

For once I didn't get a rock.
I checked my acccount this morning and I did receive the GM bonus. I don't think I've seen an AS flight post so quickly since the merger began. Particulars: SAN-SEA AS 495 coded as DL9217 YCA fare. The SEA-NRT and NRT-GUM legs have not posted yet. Of course I only arrived on GUM less than 11 hours ago. On a side note got OPUPed on the NRT-GUM leg(NW 774/DL 6830); the "Resort Shuttle" flights are often overbooked.
