Status Transfer: Varig Gold to p.e. MP?
Hi,
I want to transfer my Varig Gold Status, p.e. to MP.
Has anybody here done this before? Is a status transfer (without miles) possible at *A at all?
Thanks,
M.

As long as RG stays afloat, and they are, there's no reason for any *A carrier to match your *A status.
As is, your *A status is valid.
If you have a business case for UA, they may grant you status there - but again, expect some hard work on the way.
If/when RG goes belly up - that'd be a completely different story.
Currently TAP/Air Canada have formally expressed their interest to acquire RG under a new auction, and have made their due diligences with the judge to express their intents - thus RG going belly up is not in the immediate future.

Also, after Monday, BR have said they won't supply fuel to Varig unless they pay some bills. I had thought this may have been said to pressure the judge into called the TGV's cards.

O TGV procurou diversos parceiros financeiros para dividir o controle da empresa, como a LanChile e a própria TAP. Desde segunda, discute com a Syn Logística e com a Fontidec Brasil Investimentos, grupo que tem investidores portugueses, brasileiros e americanos. Inicialmente, Lima, da Syn Logística, disse contar com recursos do fundo de investimento Carlyle, que administra mais de US$ 39 bilhões, mas não conseguiu provar que o grupo está disposto a financiar o negócio.
Mesmo valor
Segundo Gomes, o valor da proposta será mantido, mas os interessados trabalham em conjunto para substituir o pagamento em debêntures. Ele destacou ainda o interesse da TAP na compra da Varig. O presidente da companhia portuguesa, Fernando Pinto, já deixou claro que só se interessa pela empresa se houver outro leilão. Ele não quer se juntar ao TGV e mantém conversas com a AirCanada e com o fundo de investimento Brookfield para a formação de um consórcio.
Pelo menos até o próximo sábado, a Varig tem combustível garantido para voar. Uma intervenção de Pinto na BR Distribuidora teria sido um dos motivos que levaram a estatal a dar mais prazo para a Varig.

I was just wondering if TAP were on record as saying these things, rather than some journalist "guessing".
thanks
