Yeah I guess it's good that the alliances didn't create huge monopolies at least to the point there wasn't competition.
I assume all of the major DL partners will come up with bilateral FF and code share agreements to benefit from the LATAM moves.
They do need to fix some of the issues that impact being non-ST, like say buying a KL/AF marketed flight on VS, but you can't get DL miles.
