BA tends to be the best still, but that's likely because the crazy surcharges make it a much tougher value proposition for many to justify.
I am beginning to wonder about the benefits of these alliances and their necessity. They all seem to be evolving at they each try to squeeze as much revenue while providing as little as possible.

Yet DL has been and continues to be one of the most profitable airlines.
