Are you referring to the AB-EK tie-up? There has been AA-AS, BA-EC, QF-JQ, and QF-FJ in place already so I guess nothing new. Don't know if it would ever be possible for CX-CA to have something similar (earn status miles / sector when flying on each other's code) without either changing its respective alliance.
