Swissair (SairGroup) just announced that they reached agreement with the polnish governement and with LOT to acquire a 37,6% stake in LOT (owned so far 100% by the polnish governement). Other competitiors for such a stake were LH and BA.

The pilot union that represents LOT is already on the pilot advisory coalition for the oneword carriers. You decide. Also, FYI, the pilot unions representing JAL and Aerolinias Aregentina also have representatives on the oneworld piolt coalition board as well.
