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.

What makes this a downward spiral and not fair? First you couldn't earn miles on AR coded flights, now since last year you can...that's more like upward isn't it?
