Majority of the world is non-native english. 
I think the sentence says something. They don't have a firm date yet. Also, describing it as a journey may indicate that there is a lot of bilateral agreements still to be made and the process may take sometime, even after the join date. This was the case for AB, IIRC.
Just my 2 cents.

December isn't too far ahead, lets hope they meet the requirements by then.
I love it when people talk posh when English isn't their first language, it always results in plenty of errors. :P

Hopefully it will be end December. The lounges at KUL have been reconfigured in anticipation of elite travellers using them and access to them modified in line with how it will work post joining. I heard a September date mentioned for an announcement, although we should all remember Kingfisher and Air India...
