As oneworld is/was very poor between Europe and Asia , or within Asia, it's a good move that MH,UL and QR join.
*aliance has much more presence with LH,LX,OS,TG and SQ ( + all these Chinese and Japanese airlines ), specially between Europe and S.E.A.. And after the sun has gone down over BD, and BA swallowed my 3 million miles and changed them to ADIOS, I have some hope we can use them sooner or later on these new ow members.
