Me and the misses did the exact same thing as the OP once we moved out here to SH (and this was done when things were still very good for the industry), and I've never looked back. Sure, CX is currently making some changes for us members/passengers flying with them, but it is NOTHING if you start comparing what AF/KLM is currently doing with their program. Have a quick look in to the Flying Blue section of this forum, and you'll pretty soon see what I'm talking about.

If you "need" to switch to a European based airline, try Lufthansa instead, or even better, Austria (great service!) Just make sure to stay AWAY from AF/KLM...
