This is not unusual at all. Because it was IRROPS, you were very likely coded HKIF, which is as high as you get on the priority list.

OP here ....

Looks like I received more than a 50% bonus for SkyMiles, but no bonus for MQM. Here is the summary from my PIT-DTW-MSP trip:

* 1028 MQMs
* 685 "Base" miles
* 411 "Bonus" miles
* 1096 "Total" miles

It Happened Again.... This Time as an FO
 
My 6pm from MDW to PIT via DTW, arriving PIT at 11pm, was delayed one hour. I changed to the 5pm via MSP, arriving in PIT at 10:30pm. Somehow I was placed as #1 of 30+ on the upgrade list. Here I am sitting in 1D awaiting takeoff for the MSP to PIT leg.

I've only had this happen once. My HPN-MSP was delayed and they allowed me to switch to a JFK-MSP instead and I was instantly placed in first class because of the Y rebooking. However I didn't get the bonus mqm. I did call in to ask about it and was told that I was not eligible for it as I hadn't "paid" for the Y fare

In my experience you always jump lots of people when you rebook because of IROPS. I just posted in another thread the other day about ending up 2/49 as an FO after rebooking. In fact, if you have multiple options after the need to be rebooked last minute, and one or more of those options is Y = 0 F > 0, you can book directly into F, even when other options in Y are available.

I have never gotten an MQM bonus in these situation.
