We are talking about two different cases here. Individual OW airlines all have their own luggage policies any many of them DO give extra allowance to their own status member and also to top tiers from other OW airlines. Does this mean there is an official alliance wide status based luggage policy/allowance? No.
AY Ruby can check in 40kg with AY but will BA allow the same in SYD for the same passenger when flying from SYD to LHR in BA whY? Absolutely no and this is the point of this thread.
