However, if you need *A status, keep in mind that:
When you change the country of residence in your KL FlyingDutchan profile to Canada, they will transfer your miles & status to NW and then close your KL FD account.
You will then have a very good chance for a status match with one of the US-based *A carriers (e.g. UA) on the basis of your NW status ...

Re the issue of UA / AC programs the pros/cons of each will depend greatly on your new flying patterns. There are a number of threads on this forum that discuss this. One advantage of YVR is its proximity to Seattle if you want to go with UA or NW as your program of choice.
