I'm not saying that LATAM would end up in *A either, I agree that would be unhealthy too. I am saying that LATAM may, whether they like it or not, have to stay split over two alliances. I just don't think that people should assume that JJ in OW is an automatic follow on from the LAN takeover of TAM. It aint over until the regulators sing.
