Pakistan International want to join star. My relatives fly MAN-JFK with them cause their cheap but I suspect this will be another AI style saga.
Oneworld might be able to get Qatar or Etihad, but probably not both. Emirates is against joining an alliance. They're happy eating away at everyone else's market share.
