All the promotional material has said, "In April KLM will become an integrated member of Sky Team". This surely means that it is possible to earn miles on all the airlines and their partners and as a result passengers can chose which program they will join.

Both programs are so different from each other that it is fairly safe to say that chaos would ensue with members of each program wanting to swap to the other program for their preferred benefits, if this would be an option. Not to mention the "Air France lets me do this why wont KLM?", or the other way around.

It would not surprise me if both the Frequence Plus (?) and FD programs were merged into a completely different and new program created specifically for this merger. If April is really going to be the date for this then the management of both airlines must be working overtime trying to sort out the logistics of this or else what is supposed to be a positive move is simply going to alienate and irritate all members of both airlines.

It is hard to stay positive when there is no info given to us but I just hope that whatever happens, we don't end up loosing any benefits that we already have.
