no need to worry for Oneworld, they pick the correct partner airline carefully. they are the only airline alliance that is still making profit. for China's case, as far as i know, HaiNan Airlines is under negotiation to be a OW airline soon.

it's insane that China Eastern is going to be a ST member, i fly a lot on MU, unlike some people, my opionion on MU is not that bad, they have the decend type of service, on time rate and passenger service, only thing i do not like is their FFP, you can never get anything out of that except lounge service, which sucks.

take a look at all the big 3 airline alliances, you will be able to find a couple of quality airlines out of *A (TG, SG) and OW (KA, CX, QF, AY), which airline can you call quality airline in ST???

no wonder why ST is the making the most loss out of 3 alliances.
