Phone agents are usually the last to know about FFP changes.@:-) My guess is that DL is testing planned changes which may or may not be implemented.
Why would they test on a live site...

Really folks.....you don't think it MIGHT be an error with MQMs being 25% of the 25%? Let's throw some water on the crazy fire.

Somehow, I had a feeling you'd say that!

It's not an error.

Thin me right over to AA and your dividends appropriately that will.

I agree this is most likely an error with 25% of 25% but the 25% isn't an error. We should capture different fare classes and see percentages.

I ran a Q fare and got 50% and then 50% of that for MQM. As said before H appears to be 75%. YBM are still showing me 150%.

One way SFO - JFK on a T fare will only earn you 161 MQMs. JFK - BOS will earn you 500 minimum on any fare class. Just to make silver on Transcon r/t on a T fare, you would need 77 roundtrips.

Won't that mean a lot of frequent flyers running away to other carriers? I'm sure they'll offer status matches for ex-DAL when this gets out.

I can see how that'd be great for bubbashow, but is it really all that great for DAL?

Probably, but why would they be dumb enough to test in a live system?
