Uh-oh! Why he threatens? I just don't understand it. He better be behave. He can't be leaving the Oneworld Alliance.

saw this.. Wonder what will happen to BA/IB if QR bump their stakes on IAG. I think AA need to break away from DL/UA, and learn to work with QR/EY like Qantas did with EK.

good thing Al-Baker went to Miami, and was looking forward to see headline-worthy quotes from him.

interesting- noticed that while making a few recent AAdvantage redemption's on QR the AA phone agents have tried to nudge me to look at alternate options...

Bump their stake? What does this mean, increase or decrease?

There is a limit to how much a non-EU airline can own of an EU airline, a non-EU citizen is not supposed to exert controlling influence on an EU airline.

Not that it seems to have stopped DL and VS
