regarding a) the ticket is affected since there was an equipment change.

another problem on the horizon: in this times i cant take it for granted to fly a 15 leg ticket the way i booked it. even if im allowed to fly, the 3555 TP arent sure. - that would speak for going 5000 TP next period. gosh, i hate making decisions.
for 05/21 to 05/22 i already have 1195 TP in the pipeline. 120 TP would be possible for BER-LHR-SOF and return positioning. -> 1315 TP. if i make 880 TP each in autumn, Christmas, winter and easter break, thats 4715 TP. not impossible to get 5000 TP.
It's true that a 15 leg ticket could easily be interrupted and it's true that you might not get the TP's that you calculated at the current circumstances.

I also had to change my trip schedules including adding/removing mileage runs, changing airlines on planned trips, postponing my SkyTeam Elite Plus status plan to 2022 or 2023, etc... However, I am still trying to keep my existing statuses one way or another by trying to use minimal money on flights.

As your requalification period starts/ends in May, you have a lot of time to think and make the right choice.
