Does anyone know when NW announced this? I'm book on AF in a few weeks in L class and now my PE status will be in jeopardy. I've been flying AF this year IAD-CDG, but obviously I wasn't paying any attention to change in mileage.

Is the cut-over date that purchase date or the flight date? I purchased way prior to September 1, 2007 - does that mean I'll still get full credit?

Is it just me or is it getting harder and harder to make use of Skyteam - first Continental and now this...
