Looks like it's bye bye to Star.

At this point LATAM can either
1) bring JJ into oneworld
2) give up the merger
3) join Skyteam (both LA & JJ)

3) is most possibly a no go.

Anyhow good news for OW IMO. ^

You've made my day - its party time! I've always said that Government Regulators are very intelligent people -well except the ones that regulate financial markets........and banks........ and Airport charges in Australia..........and........but ones regulating dragging TAM out of Star - very intelligent people.
