Why would they? What benefit would they gain from it? BT is not a member, nor is it in any way affiliated with *A. The only connection that seems to confuse most people is that it happens (for the time being) use SK EB as it's FFP, which of course is a *A program as well. And of course a few codeshares with *A carriers. Why is it so hard to understand?
