Can't they just let in MH & GA join? VN only focuses on the northern parts of Asia and doesn't go anywhere south of SIN in SEA, they don't even serve The Phillipines or Indonesia, 2 very big markets in Asia. While for the bottom parts of SEA MH & GA can both very well serve with both having established domestic markets.
GA has just dumped VN's code-share (member in 6 months!!!), which just shows how much they want to get into SkyTeam.
