Thanks mgm. That's true. Guess I'm confusing the propect of a partnership where ANY of the other partners flights will be crediable to either program as elite qualification- in the same manner of KLM and NWA. As you know, it does not have to be a code share or KL- or NW- designated. Here any KLM flight counts toward elite qualification on NWA. I guess that does not apply here in any way shape or form!
