This certainly opens the door for more outsourcing. Though in the case of ANA we already code share via the Star Alliance. Essentially, ANA already does carry UA pax on their A/C and we reciprocate. Aer Lingus is different in that you have an Irish carrier flying UA pax from American soil to Spain. UA gets half the revenue and has no A/C or crew invested. I'm sure all of this is obvious to all. The question is...Could ANA fly from..say...IAH-AKL and split the revenue with UA? I'm not sure. Of course ANA would need an A/C like the 787 to do this feasibly...Uh Oh!
