What are GAF's complaints with Xaimen? Last time I checked they were better than the ST Chinese airlines...
And if Hainan joins then that'd be ANOTHER AS partner in OW, that'd be crazy.
I still think it should be Westjet, mainly cause I live in Canada and get no EQM on AA when flying Westjet...
Dont think AS will join. HU/Xiamen seem more likely/needed
