TAM was an AAdvantage partner for many years, but never a member of oneworld. As far as I know. no Brazilian airline has even been in oneworld, although VARIG was one of the early members of Star Alliance. GOL, which bought the remnants of VARIG and has planes with the VARIG logo on the outside, was an AAdvantage partner until recently. It is now aligned with DELTA.
