other airlines who are members of the Star Alliance? The MEC has Veto power over which airlines can join Star?
That's some iron-clad scope right there. I need to re-read the UPA.
I think my info was bad... The Star Alliance rumors were old, from 2010. LH does still own about 15% of B6, so it does make sense from their perspective, but it doesn't look like B6 followed through on the alliance joining idea.
