EQS question
FT rookie needs some help:
If I travel IAD-MSY nonstop, clearly I receive one EQS.
If I travel IAD-ORD-MSY (say, UA 977 and UA 732) booked as a single itin, do I receive two EQS?

Two flight segments(two flight numbers) = two EQS.

In short, yes.
You receive 1 EQS per segment, defined as a a single flight number between two cities. (So-called "direct" flights that include a stop count as a single segment despite the stop, but in your case the two flights have different flight numbers, hence would count as separate segments.)

yes you will receive 2 eqs and eqm's for each segment. as long as it is a change of flight number you will get 1 eqs per flight and eqm's for each segment and that is the key as there are some "thru/direct flights" which stop at a mid-point (with or without a change a equipment) and continue on to the final destination under the same flight number and that is all one flight (unless you book them on separate tix) with 1 eqm as if it was a non-stop flight and 1 eqs.
