Well, perhaps some DL folks can pipe in about the AF/DL relationship in terms of forced program moves?
In the NW/KL system, if you were a US based WP member and moved to the EU they transferred you and your miles/EQM to KLs FF system. If the new JV enforces those kinds of rules that could act as a firewall for the KL/AF FF program oddities.
