That's exactly what I think as well - I book a ticket because I like the price and "hopefully" the mileage associated with it. TK has every right to change the accrual table anytime without prior notice - they can literally change the earning table the day before you fly.
TK is not the worst regarding this things - at least they actually have a table to show you what you "might" be able to earn. RJ is worse - I emailed them and they confirmed the earnings as they don't actually published the table online for other OW partners. We were told those booking classes gives 70% earnings but we ended up getting 25% max! Wrote to their CS and they said they will gave us whatever AA (who sold the ticket) gave them.

That's pretty good that they will give you those miles anyway, no way TK would ever do that!

Some times, yes. But ET only offers two paid classes in business class. P is the cheapest option and then there is the full fare D, which is often double the price of P - and much more expensive than what you can find on other airlines. So essentially, if you want to fly ET business class without (over)paying, you'd be flying in P.

C is paid business class for sure. My ex Oslo ticket to South Africa from March last year was in C. Booking class D and P are also well know business class fares on ET. I have yet to see a J fare on ET,

I have a flight coming up in October ACC-HKG-ACC in ET P, I'll definitely post some feedback. I hope there's someone flying P earlier though so I know what to expect.

Some *A carriers do credit P for at least some miles (ie. NH at 75%), otherwise I'd love to go to Asia once using ET and have a stopover in ADD.
It looks like it does now as this is updated, I would love to get some DP before booking YYZ-Asia in P (sometimes they do have very good deals on P)

Huh what. Am I ignorant, or is this thread saying an Ethiopian business fare did not credit at 100% with Turkish until now? But ... for some time Economy fares on Ethiopian have been crediting 100%? Like, it's the whole crux of doing Ethiopian mileage runs on the cheap for Turkish status and/or redeemable miles.
Just trying to make sense of this. Maybe I am not too bright today.

That said.. There is still a part of me that doesn't want to believe it has changed until I see a proof.

That's a pretty hilarious (and annoying) inconsistency, if true.
