I hope they are wrong of course.

If and when China southern joins thirdworld and gets a JV with AA, You will see us fly to their hubs from our hubs.

That’s correct. Doug said only more China flying with a JV partner to give domestic feed. If anything, it would increase our presence there, not hurt it. If we net one new flight on our metal from either JV, that’s one more than we would’ve had.
Qantas JV secures AKL, adds Brisbane and maybe Perth
China Southern makes our China flying more profitable and may add secondary cities in the future like Guangzhou

Well, we want JV partners, but we need SCOPE protections as well. We want the net gain in flying going to us, not our ‘new friends.’
Delta has a horrible history recently of losing WB routes to JV partners.

It’s my understanding that delta may not fly to as many destinations as they did before their JVs but they have just as many international block hours.
Instead of multiple destinations they fly a ton of flights to CDG and AMS. Block hours are all matter, not number of destinations.
