Moving to BA
I have had some really bad experience with KLM and am thinking about moving all my business to BA. I am a PE until 2009 or something, but Blue with BA. Is there a way to get the same status with BA as I have with KLM - suggestions how to handle this?

Unless your company can convince BA's sales team of a huge yearly spend, you will get nowhere. There is a thread about this on the BA forum.
Don't forget also, that you won't get status miles unless you're flying C or full-fare Y.

As I said on the other thread on the Midland board, you could apply to UA for a comped Star Gold card while you earn your BD Gold.
In fact, as with pmcg, you could still use your PE card for lounge access even though you're earning status with Star Alliance.
