and

"If you were to go down that path . . . it's wrong to assume Star is the obvious choice," Mr Borghetti said. "Delta is in Sky Team and Sky Team is a very formidable group, and I think Delta are terrific partners."

SO basically NO to STAR currently and Skyteam is a possibility if they were to look at alliances... Kind of what I posted!
