Seeing how both are members of the Star Alliance this works fine, but why now? Will the merged US/AA be OneWorld or StarAlliance?
How will this affect the codeshare with SA?
Thoughts

This news article was posted in December, 2012. Something is missing in this article. Can we assume that Star Alliance passengers will make a connection in either Europe or London before reaching South Africa? Charlotte/Philadelphia do not have the runway for an African route. US Airways does not yet have the aircraft for an African mission.

Neither airline since this article was posted has since announced service to either's hub. The only destinations they share are Lisbun, Frankfurt, Zurich and Munich.
