I thought that the idea of an Airline Alliance was that you could earn or maintain elite status in one member's FFP by flying with another member:
From the KLM Flying Blue web-page (on how you can earn level miles):
With AIR FRANCE, KLM, our partners Air Europa, Kenya Airways and TAROM as well as our other SkyTeam partners.
From the SkyTeam website:
Join the frequent flyer program of any SkyTeam member airline and you’ll earn frequent flyer miles towards Elite status. The more you fly, the quicker you’ll enjoy Priority Check-in, Preferred Seating and lounge access. Earn and redeem frequent flyer miles with all 19 member airlines.
Confused? I am!
