I don't see any OW member airline rushing in to sponsor AI's membership into OW. To me, OW has always seemed like the most selective alliance amongst the three and they'd likely approach 9W before they approach AI. And rightly so, IMO.

Once again, I'd disagree for reasons mentioned above. OW wouldn't want to risk diluting its image by going after a *A reject.
