Hey [B]aaupgrade[B] thanks for your comments. I too have my choices and personal reasons for chosing the one alliance over the other - just wondering if anyone knew from an airline perspective what made an alliance worthwhile for the airlines involved. My miles are all with OW and I suppose I get concerned when I see the growth in *A of a collapse down the line in OW if it does not compete
BTW - have you been to the Maldive before - they are just amazing
