But wouldn't it be a brilliant business decision to emphasize
ONEWORLD/(operating carrier) at the check-in counter and indeed welcome all members? Especially if they were co-located the airlines could manage to save big bucks on staffing by each airline not having to staff for its peak check-in period and then have staff standing around waiting for the next.
Meanwhile I'm still waiting for BA to issue IB boarding passes at Heathrow. Admission: got >one< once. For a party of >three<. No one could flog the other two out of the machines, and eventually a supervisor explained that stupid colonists should in no way expect to get an IB boarding pass at a counter at LHR sporting a big "British/Iberia" sign.
