They would if UA shut down. And CO picked up major parts of UA. If you see CO starting more fights to FRA (like IAH-FRA) - then start thinking.
With oil at $70 a barrel (and projections to $100 in a few years) - something is going to happen. DL shutdown, UA sold off, etc. Of course if DL shutdown - then who is left for SkyTeam. Remember DL beat CO for the AF alliance a few years back.
