United code-shares some flights with Virgin Blue. Not sure if you can earn/redeem miles, tho

I do. So many jobs lost. My 400K+ Global Rewards points, existing redemption bookings and *G status vanished overnight. I was living in Singapore at the time and remember only too well how cold SQ turned in an instant.
I love NZ as a long haul carrier, but I'd rather DJ joined *A than see NZ fly domestically in Aus (again).
Actually, I'd be really happy if DJ joined *any* alliance. At the moment DJ status stops at the border.
