I am curious with the takeover of Dragonair what will be the impact on mileage and status with the MPC? Is there any news on this as I cannot seem to find any. For instance:

1. Will/When will KA flights qualify for MPC status? As only oneworld partners now do.

2. Or as planned with Dragonair remaining a seperate operating identity for 6 years will CX codeshare?

3. Will Dragonair become a de facto member of oneworld or an associate along the lines of the the LAN grouping?

Or quite simply are these 'details' that have yet to be thrashed out?

Feedback appreciated.

Thanks.
