2) FFP Status will be recognised by MU and FM.
FM will exit *A very soon. *A doesn't generally allow flying non-member airline to get *A status.

3) Mileage can be earned by members of both programmes.
It might not be as simple as this. Moving FM back to T2 maybe just because MU is harder to move to T3. And it makes sense that MU and FM operate in one terminal. It will be very interesting to see how they deal with PVG.
