Yes, if you read what I wrote earlier it's because it is in the interest of UA to do that which means more money or if they use some sort of reciprocity, UA doesn't wind up with loads of available Copa seats nobody in UA wants to redeem.

There is nothing new in this situation and it's not only Copa and it's not only Star Alliance.
