If moondog has not pre-phrased his statement about "People often complained about
OW not taking an Asian airline", then I would not make my comment.
He refers to
OW, not Asia Miles.
Since when OW members = Asia Miles members?
A subset of OW members are happy but the majority of OW members are NOT. CX relationship with CA and MU are CX alone, has nothing to do with OW that is why the irrelevancy lies.
Because people DO have valid reason to complain regardless CX relationship with CA or MU. Using this relationship to counter the complain of OW lack Asian Airline partners is a faulty argument.
Ditto DL's partnership with SQ - that other Skyteam members would not enjoy. BTW, is that SQ relationship continues? Wasn't at some point last year it was said to terminate at some point?
