SkyTeam has no sense of direction (stuck between the two objectives of *A and OW). They're basically turning into a poor copy of *A - desperate for members.

For example, *A is looking to become the biggest alliance - therefore, there will always be some top-end (SQ/OZ) and some lower-end (UA/CA etc.). oneworld is looking to become a high-quality alliance with CX/QF/BA/JL/LA/MX etc. - which explains why they are relatively conservative in recruiting new members while *A is open.
