I guess you aren't up to speed about QF. And I said MH is being bought by QF (not MH joining Oneworld). It was of course a tongue in cheek suggestion but based on real world reports of talks between MH and QF (concurrent with the BA/QF merger talks). Poison pill, indeed. QF and MH have a long (and bitter) history. Explaining humour always spoils it, somehow.

But the real speculation is whether Oneworld will exist 2 years from now, not whether it is being joined by any of the crumbs that have fallen between alliances. Lots of strain on OW right now.
