All scam for me.
NW -> KL -> AF -> NW -> DL ... and DL only counts my EQMS from 2009 towards MM status
I have well over 1 MM on NW/KL over the years and now they claim that the (forced) transfer to KLM many years back invalidates all my level miles Now I have 100k LT miles instead of 2 MM

Your situation is a good example of why I'm hopeful they will allow a dual-tiered qualification for MM status going forward. One set of higher tiers that counts RDMs (ala AA's system) and a second qualifying set of lower tiers that count EQMs. This way, at least you'd wind up with something substantial, as would anyone else in a similar boat.

If so, no airline would offer it. Awarding MM status isn't purely a giveaway with no return. It secures loyalty and is intended to boost revenues. Giving away MM status to customers who will not change their behavior in a manner that contributes to Delta's bottom line in a positive manner would be undesirable, but the goal is to avoid this.
Hopefully Delta has track of all-time RDMs. Northwest did, so this would enable the dual-tiering I suggested.

My Delta account shows that I have flown 1.04 million miles. Wonder when they will recognize that?
Do they send you a card or something to show that you are a sucker to have flown them for a million miles
