UAL - Air Canada Joint Venture
United's Skynet (ominous 1980's Swarzeneger music, please) announced today that UAL and Air Canada are exploring a joint venture for US-Canada flying.
Is this anything like the outsourced Irish flying in IAD?
To me it looks like different paint; same shennanigans.....

A JV takes it to just short of a merger as the companies meet and divvy up the routes so there is no competition. They then share the revenue of all the flights that they have colluded upon. It allows UAL to receive revenue from a non-stop DIA to YYZ flight without any flying, it allows the other company the ability to start a flight without fearing competition.
