I was at the SVO2 Novotel yesterday for a few hours. While taking the elevator to the 3rd floor, someone got on at the second floor. As as I looked out the door, I see a huge professionally done banner welcoming Aeroflot into Sky Team. I got out, read the ad and press annoucements, and sure nuff, in Russian, they said that Feb. 06 is the go date. Really? I've been waiting for this for years now yet obviously Sky Team is saying nothing about it on their website and my 6 Aeroflot flights the next two weeks say nothing about possible miles being earned on any of the other ST partners. Might the so called "beginning" be the CSA code shares? There's long been AF code shares of course.

Just wondering if anyone else has heard anything about this as of late. Next time I'm at Novotel, which is sometime next weekend, I'm going to knock on a door in Aeroflot's admin offices on the second floor and ask a question or two. I'll report back what hear.
