I believe Germanwings is similar. In many ways its more annoying because Lufthansa transferred a bunch of routes to them once they were purchased (versus SilkAir which predates *A) and they still sell miles to a few programs (UA, AC at least) but without any of the *A benefits unless you happen to be a M&M Senator.
