Jet Airways may be planning to join SkyTeam through a transatlantic joint venture with Air France KLM, Alitalia and Delta Air Lines, according to media reports.
Dow Jones, citing an inside source, said AF, AZ and DL are in talks with Jet to include the Indian carrier in the venture. The report follows a similar report in La Tribune on Wednesday, saying that AF KLM Group is in negotiations with Jet on a wide-ranging cooperation, including codesharing and the transfer of Jet’s Brussels hub to Amsterdam. This would lead to Jet’s entry into SkyTeam, the French daily said. It added that an MOU may be signed as early as this month or in April but could be postponed owing to political developments in India, where government approval is mandatory for such a partnership.
Jet operates a hub in Brussels, connecting Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi with New York JFK, Newark and Toronto Pearson. The carrier last year opened a DEL-Milan Malpensa route, in codeshare with AZ, fueling off-and-on rumors that Jet would close its Brussels operations and move them possibly to MXP, but those have never been confirmed.
SkyTeam is the only alliance with no future partner in India. Air India will join Star Alliance this year and oneworld has invited Kingfisher to join.

Now there is a radiological emergency and they're evacuating everyone away from a nuclear power plant. Good grief.
Is this going to take away from Charlie Sheen coverage somehow?

i was prancing down hyberbole lane there.
still, i'm as guilty as anyone for being more than willing to argue with both sides of the coin. and I'm no SWA fan but its obvious when it comes to pay they, as we exist today, blow us out of the water. Especially if we really are to equate their 737s to our similiar mission 88s and not our 738.
But at no time should anyone who makes that observation be told to quit and go there.
The funny thing is, excluding the 9 the lowest paying jet is the 88. So if we adopted SWA pay for the 88, our pay for the highest jet will now be the pay for the lowest. i wont hold my breath.

SWA 548-737s
Yet another reason why size shouldn't matter
