Any update on when reciprocal UG's on NW might end?

I have been noticing AMEX corp travel is not a fan of CO fares these days, but seems to like NW much better. Now that the DL/NW merger is in a higher gear, is there any official word on when this (really nice) policy might end?

My guess is Q4 2009, when CO expects to join *A.

That would make sense...I was wondering if there might have been a "firm" announcement or anything like that. I will feel like a grade-A dope if I book NW and the status of the reciprocal UG's changes. I don't want to be the guinea pig that reports back here with the bad news.

If you are worried about earning CO EQM or reciprocal upgrades on a soon-to-be-ex-partner airline, I would be wary of booking anything past the start of September.

Sounds like good advice. Thanks
