Spot on and if you look at the New York City Market YP uses EWR meaning once they join Star Alliance their flight can become a United Airlines code share. Have a MNL flight from EWR that uses UA to NH/BR/CA/SQ out on the west coast and then from their hubs too Manila Philippines NAIA. Miss that UA can re route you to YP132 and then a new route to MNL from ICN. Carries a risk of KE restarting their original EWR-ICN flight KE021/022 to retaliate against YP131/132 with UA codeshare if YP is in Star Alliance to replace OZ. If you look at the South Korea and Japan Market in Star Alliance OZ helps out NH otherwise the alliance traffic in that part of Asia gets overwhelmed if there is only one member Airline from the alliance. SE Asia TG/SQ greater china People's Republic of China and Republic of China they have BR/CA/ZH for it
