I caught the end of the oneworld website being down for "updates" a couple of days ago (after this thread was posted), but didn't notice anything new when it came back up... maybe setting something up to activate at a set time?
WSJ also reporting that AA may be seeking a BA type alliance with LAN.
I'm not sure they'd get that. How much non oneworld competition is there on North-South America travel? It seems that AA/LA controls a lot more of the North-South America market then the oneworld North Atlantic traffic.
