Welcome to FlyerTalk!!

Forget the livery. There's no need to change it if they split, though they could if they want to.

The real cost for Copa leaving would be in starting up a new FF program or in switching to a different partner's program. Either of those would require a substantial infrastructure investment, which is why I don't think it will happen.
