Wow! That comes as quite a shock - but as a NW platinum elite who logs some pretty significant mileage on AF-KL (If I felt like it, I could easily make gold on FB and WP instead of plat on WP) it's always struck me as a little odd that a FB member would be eligible for upgrades on NW when I wasn't eligible for them on AF-KL, except when operationally necessary.
