Question: If you requalify for elite before 10/24/09, will you be given both Skyteam and *A status? Or will you have to choose one / default to *A? Would it be possible to maintain Skyteam for 2010?

Will it matter on whom you earned those miles? If they "split" the miles based on which airline you earned them, could you possibly lose out on status for 2010?

It is right to assume that if you earn status (or increase your status) after 10/25/09 that this will count for *A?

It will be interesting to see if and/or how CO integrates the UA-style Premier Associate. I'm betting against it.

Can someone ask this at the DO IV? I've been stuck on the waiting list since the day it filled.
