Certainly for a leisure traveller the absence or presence of an alliance really isn't that important if the airline has an interline agreement and can get you where you want to go on one ticket. Again in Y; wide body, narrow body, who cares? It doesn't make any difference.
For the leisure traveller, I agree. Those looking for a cheap Y, absolutely.

In essence, using your post, you're confirming why AC would want to pull out.

(DXB allows people to switch 2-3 stop itineraries with 1 stop. Plus Emirates gets the high dollar traveller.)
