Emphasis mine ... United Airlines - in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. US Airways - in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection (for the second time). Air Canada - in Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Ansett Australia - bankrupt and liquidated. Air NZ - 80% government buyout to protect from bankruptcy.

Yeah, you really have to admire the record of solvency in the Star Alliance.
