True. But I haven't read any media accounts reporting this is a
oneworld ATI. All of the PRs I have read talk about AA, BA and IB both in the headlines and in content. The articles may refer to them as members of
oneworld and how this ATI will benefit
oneworld (which it will), a case in point would be the press release from
oneworld site itself, especially the statement from
oneworld Managing Partner John McCulloch:
http://www.oneworld.com/ow/news/details?objectID=22419
So really no difference in the
oneworld site and FT
oneworld forum discussing it in that perspective. Perhaps your real pet peeve is with the title of this thread, not the media accounts. But really we need to relax and not worry so much about semantics IMO (as I go on and on
). Life is way too short.
