despite all the criticism about Aeroflot and their domestic hardware, would it not be a certain advantage for ST above any other alliances if they will be able to provide SYSTEMATIC access to the territory sized as US plus Canada combined?
Would it not be an advantage if ST members will be able to get miles for flying SU?
Problem is, that in some cases you do not have any other option... well, almost - you can spend 4 days in train but I prefer flying.
