So I don't see how Argentna would allow both of them to be in the same alliance (unless Argentina doesn't care about such things the way their neighbor countries do).
It is not AR's decision. The decision comes from Delta. Apparently Dalta is investing $10Million with Gol. Unlike oneworld where Cathay can firmly object Hainan's application. In SkyTeam if AF or DL want someone to join in, other airlines have not much say.
