1 A fare and my MQM/MQD ratio has been hosed
I sprung for paid A fares BIL-MSP-MIA for the wife and I (anniversary getaway to SoBe). My once proud MQM/MQD ratio of 135,000/$3,500 has now become 145,000/$4,500. Its really amazing that I can fly to JNB for $800 and earn an enviable $600 MQD, but one first class trip across the country hoses everything! Anyone else had this happen?

I call shenanigans. That 135,000 must include a pile of rollover.

A fare, yes DL likes you. $800 trip to JNB, nope DL doesn't like you.

I'd say a lot of flying with partner airlines. My numbers are similar.
