Just like the JAL deal, if it would have worked, would have been a good deal for us only because the profit sharing check would have gone up. But it will result in little to no growth for us, only keeps United and American on the ropes .....or less maneuvering room.
My firm grasp of the obvious for today.

Preach it, Uncle Ferd!
NW/KLM type flying is the stated goal of marketing with less point-point flying, and this will be the same type deal. American with OneWorld (BA) has the biggest foothold in LHR. This would put DL in distant second, thus forcing UA to a very distant 3rd.
