I'm in IT and I can only imagine the hoops that must have been jumped through to integrate Mileage Plus and SkyMiles for that brief period of time.
Are you sure not thinking of CO and DL/NW? I don't remember MP and SM being integrated in any major way. NW/CO/DL partnered up together. You could elite upgrade on any of the three, although rules varied. Then very shortly after, CO got NWs permission to breakup and started dating UA. (NW had veto power due to stock ownership of CO)
