Reading between the lines (and digesting what I just heard unofficially at lunch at the Swissotel: SR-press-conference):

- with introduction of the summer timetable means usually when Europe changes to summer time: end of march 2000
- no big future for the (at present time US only) Delta - UA partnership
- Singapore - SR might again evaluate to strenghten their partnership (Singapore airline 'people' were at this SR press conference ...)
- LH seems to be the main force behind this Austrian 'deal' (and others like AC?), at least that's the SR (european) opinion
