I doubt that any "conversion" info is going to be discussed until the two airlines are much closer to the single operating certificate.

That is an interesting idea. If they do that, is it only for a limited period of time with a mileage challenge? Even if that were the case, that would not seem to be a problem after January 9 anyway.

As to the conversion ratio, they probably have to do that a lot sooner as it can take a very long time to get a single operating certificate.

I am an SPG elite and so far Marriott has done a very good job of merging the two programs and they announced the conversion ratio very early on.
