Oneworld voted best alliance

I find that hard to believe, at least from a US perspective. I would think Star would win hands down.

I personally don't like Oneworld much because its seems like their members are most likely not to award you full mileage on a partner airline (Iberia and Qantas come to mind). This has actually kept me from qualifying for elite status in the alliance. Also, the BA/AA relationship seems awkward and incomplete, at best. And, in the USA, you have the fewest earning opportunities.

You've got to wonder who votes for these things.
