I understand that; mainly just interested in mileage earning. I know that is possible on Aegean’s Tampere codeshares so time will see if they expand the offering out of TLL.

I have never heard of Aegean offering status match.

A large West Coast VC firm that I worked with got me the offers from both airlines a while back and I reached out to the points of contact that were provided at that time and both told me would still be eligible. I do decide a fairly large travel budget for a number of high flight volume/spend travelers which might be part of it? I’m just speculating here.
I am more than happy to talk to my HR contact at the VC firm and see if she can share any more information. While I was engaged on this contract I specifically told the HR department I was moving to TLL and these were the two programmes I was interested in. I provided her with proof of my then-ConciergeKey status (this was just before Airpass was shut down) and about a month later I was given emails to reach out to at both airlines.
