And the 1K MQMs RT do help me keep PM status.

If these changes do go through (especially if they do 25% of the ACTUAL miles) I will just start taking Amtrak or Mega from TOL. Or just fly AA from Toledo if the fare is cheap enough

Um...see my quote above. Nobody on here has flown since 9/1 and looked at their mileage statements?

LOL! Just like there was nothing about the rise in mileage for awards that went into effect last week.

Underlined and bolded are the problems for the airline.

Anyone here know a good Class Action lawyer? It's about time someone in the US took these one-sided "subject to change without notice" clauses to court.

She said now she thinks she might be wrong, that it looks like the website used the group fares etc, and applied it to all fares

Looks like the new unpublished fare earning rules are leaking into the published fares in a weird way.

Stellar IT and customer service execution as always.

NO!

How could it be!?

Am I the only one that has flown since 9/1 and could discount MRs theory from the first post of it?

She said IT just issued a bulletin that it is incorrect and it will be fixed.
