If you're looking for an alliance to replace *A / BMI then I wouldn't focus on FC as a serious option. While I think VS is a great airline, and if it's route network works then the best, the increasingly limited partner options and no reciprocal recognition counts against it.
Unless you hate BA, I'd consider OW.
