Correct

At the MVPG Breakfast yesterday AS discussed in the developing partnership with DL... basically it will mirror the current AS-NW partnership. It was mentioned that NW & DL elites would be included in the upgrades, after AS elites had been upgraded.

NW partnership will remain as is... (AS side of it at least)

DL integration is progressing... as for reciprocal upgrades, they are aiming for the end of 2009...
