Well, when Northwest annouced Worldperks mileage accrual on Northwest in 2003, they did say that 100% EQM and the mileage accrual policy was in place "until further notice". We should have known then that inclusion of Northwest into SkyTeam was probably a sign of the upcoming changes to that policy.
While I too hope Northwest doesn't follow CO and DL lead, but there are many signs which might indicate otherwise. 2005 might as well be the last year I'll be platinum. Hopefully, I'm wrong.
The only thing that might help our efforts might be the giant United Airliines. With United still offering 100EQM on all fares, Northwest might think twice about reducing the EQM on Northwest operated flight. Not favorite mileage accrual or upgrades though.
