Happened to be looking at the Azul website yesterday. From what I read there, it will be some time before they consider any code shares. One thing they emphasize is that the customer's desires will shape their decision on who to code share with as well as other things. They ran a contest to name the airline, and "Samba" finished first with "Azul" second, but Neeleman, had final say and picked Azul. The person who first submitted Samba also got the same prize as the person who first submitted Azul. Guess he likes that color. :-)
