Irishguy28, what you say is mainly correct in that the postponement of the new Lufthansa M&M programme has nothing whatsoever to do with status extension. However, it should be noted that LH-Group airlines have separately extended the current status of almost all M&M cardholders by 12 months. This is rather more generous than Aegean's 6-month extension and A3 will in my opinion have little option but to follow suit.
