Another way of looking at it is that a D1 low RT award ticket to Europe would cost 125,000 RDMs but of course not earn any MQMs (or RDMs) for at least slightly more distance flown (depending on the particular European destination and routing, but something like JFK-LHR would give a roughly comparable distance). Your MR is basically a means to convert RDMs to MQMs, albeit not at a very favorable ratio. I hope you had fun.If one needs to do a MR, it's obviously better to do it in D1 and FC.
