After CO/NW joined SkyTeam, it became possible to use one award for travel on all three airlines.
I like how the AS partnership is almost the same as a SkyTeam partnership... you earn MQMs, and can combine with DL flights. I think AS does this with all of their (many) partners though, so it's probably not a sign that they're joining SkyTeam.
