It looks as though America West is moving closer and closer to all of the proposed Wings alliance carriers. Here is my reasoning:
1) Continental Airlines already owns a portion of America West and does heavy code sharing with them, as well as reciprical Freq. Flyer benefits and club lounge access.
2) NorthWest just announced that America West Club members can access their clubs as well. see:
http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/Foru...ML/000056.html . They also have frequent flyer earnings opportunity with NorthWest. And, NW owns some of CO, which in turns owns some of AW.
3) America West also codeshares with EVA Airlines, same as Continental.
The only thing that doesn't fit in is America West and their alliance with British Airways (member of OneWorld).
Anybody else have any thoughts?
