There has been a post by somebody here (2 weeks ago?) indicating that OK+ had sent them a newsletter or something that indicated CZ flights would fully accrue miles since tomorrow. I am a member of OK+, but haven't gotten around to switching to the e-newsletter, and the website doesn't say anything.
I think it's a good bet to say that China Southern will be a member of Skyteam effective 01/11/2007. ^
By the way, the earnings SU have posted for CZ are little short of pathetic!!! 30% COS for business??

For the record. If you go to skyteam.com and search itn's that would involve CZ, you will find CZ flights come up in the suggested itin's listed as Skyteam flights. I noticed that yesterday or the day before. Not sure when it changed. It wasn't like that a couple of weeks ago.
FWIW. It IS already 1/11 in CAN.
I haven't been able to get http://www.cs-air.com or http://www.csair.com to come up at all for weeks.

CZ passed final review last week. The entrance date is still set to Nov15. There will be a large ceremony in Beijing, China. All CEOs from alliance partner will participate this ceremony.

The master ST logo isn't updated on the site yet, but I suppose that'll happen eventually (like on the 15th maybe). And CSA has a new logo that looks a lot like GlaxoSmithKleine's.
Strange how easy and quick the CZ join went relative to all the others recently. Go figure.
The SkyTeam timetable is still not 100%, like it only shows LAX-CAN on Sundays, but it'll get there.

Haha! Think they may have taken into account the amount of Becherovka I consume on board in designing this logo. There are all sorts of therapeutic herbs in that drink. 
The China Southern websites are worse than useless.
Great. Will they be a full member or just associate?
