The plot is way thicker than that:
Singapore is a pretty established member of the StarAlliance.
Singapore did indeed form a JV with VAustralia.
Singapore also happens to own 49% of VAtlantic.
Singapore won't leave Star, but I can see a three way deal with Delta/SkyTeam to get VAtlantic into the group.
With the pilot strike looming at VAtlantic nothing will transpire until thats resolved.
Branson wants out and that also puts VAmerica in play...
This will get very ugly.
Cheers

Remember, if it's a 3 day trip that blocks in at 2330 or later, it's actually a 4 day trip in the eyes of PCS (because they would have to use a 4 day reserve to cover it).

We will be placing a massive order soon and everyone knows this. I'm sure a global powerhouse with an improving balance sheet can more than beat the terms of a tiny egomaniac driven start up thats always down to their last 20 million when it comes to terms of aircraft orders.
In the extremely unlikely event we decide to get their planes cause RB wants out, we can take those over through the leasing companies way outside the realm of any merger.

What could we possibly want with VA? If its their awesome A319/320's, couldn't we just order them on our own? We need WAY more than what they have, and please don't mention their meaningless letters of intent of their fantasy start up fleet plan where every start up claims they will order 400 jets and fly to every single city or whatever.

OTOH there is a real possibility that is Plan-C for the West Coast...
Consolidation is inevitable and marginal players will be assimilated one way or another. VA hasn't-ever-made-money...
