Well, AR has been in SkyTeam for a while now, but the Flying Blue "Partners" page still says this:
Miles earned on Aerolineas Argentinas flights do not count towards determining your membership level.
Is this real? If so, it's yet another step down the spiral staircase for FB. I was hoping for a couple of qualifying segments on a (possible) work trip to Argentina later on this year. But even so, the route I'm looking at (BUE-MDQ) seems to be operated by Austral Lineas Aereas (but with AR codes), so the flights probably won't count, anyway. FB and Skyteam just aren't playing fair, IMO.
