No mention of mile-up bonus yet. Probably will be announced in a couple of days? And should I be expecting reduced accumulation rates coming soon on AY? 
Customer benefits of the joint business will include:
The ability to mix and match flights on all three carriers for the most convenient scheduling and best pricing
Online booking capability and check-in with any of the three airlines, regardless of which is being flown
Integrated customer support across the three airlines
Greater connectivity on all three airlines in case of disruption

Yup, haven't seen anything good come out from that. It's only good if you do something like flying JL on outbound and AA on inbound. JMB got devalued quite a bit after the JV too!
