So here I am trying to decide between flying CO or VS to LON, and I notice in reviewing their current partner listing that VS is nowhere to be found. I've now been transferred to four different agents who have all confirmed that VS isn't on any of their lists either, and it's highly questionable whether one would actually earn mileage even when flying as a CO codeshare. One agent even said specifically that there was no way I could earn mileage if they weren't on "her" list.

Since I don't have access to those magic Elite phone numbers (though hopefully that will change soon...), does anyone who does feel like calling to see what answer you get? My assumption is that they're in the process of eliminating all references to VS to replace with KL, but it seems a bit ridiculous that you couldn't earn miles even when the flights are CO-coded.
