Good news about the club! Though, as I foresee moving most of my travel to AA in the coming year, I suspect I will often find myself with my nose pressed up against the glass. That said, I usually don't arrive at MDE very early, so I rarely wait more than 20 minutes at the gate.

Now... What to do about the livery. (Just one of many questions, for sure)
I'm not as confident that CM will leave *A. It's certainly possible, and more so now that they announced that they are leaving M+. However, they just signed up with *A a couple of years ago and I don't know how much they would value joining Skyteam. If they add ATL and DTW to their destinations, then we'll know.
