I wonder what became of those people who had to transfer?

Or was there mass migration from those countries after the news broke?

I am one of those. I was NL resident at the time and had already found bmi pulling away from all the routes I'd fly with them. I accepted the M&M migration. I'm now in Switzerland (not as a consequence of the DC migration!) and am quite happy with SEN status. As mentioned, the process was a nightmare and it required a number of telephone calls and emails to get it done properly. And I'm still a owed about 10k miles by DC but haven't bothered to chase.

The one bmi flight, if it even counts as that, I have taken since the DC migration was a LHR-GVA operated for LX. It was December last year in the mid of the snow chaos. No catering was available because bmi and LX weren't able to communicate at LHR... It was good to be back on bmi

Glad to hear you survived and living happily ever after.

No DC to MM for 2011

Spoke to DC while booking trip today. They released news today to the effect that DC will not be merged with MM during 2011 and they reserve the right to re evaluate the program next yr, so enjoy 2011 DC'ers!!!

And confirmed in writing by our very own diamond club here and also posted on Facebook.

Hopefully this nasty thread will now go away for ever (or at least until the end of the year!).

Thread clsoed

After some discussion by the board Moderators, we have come to the conclusion that after 26 pages of comment and speculation and only 2 posts containing hard facts that this thread has finally served its underlying purpose.

This thread followed from the LH Takeover Thread which was locked when that phase of the saga completed itself.

The next segment of this journey was brought to light by WPS when he finally said what we were waiting to hear. It is fitting that the follow-on thread was started by Diamond Club:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/bmi-d...fe-2011-a.html

Thanks to everyone who contributed - as changes to the programme have been indicated by WPS in his statements, it will be interesting to re-visit this thread in a year and see who was right.

This thread is now closed.
