If if if Aeroflot comes on board with ST in March of 06, how likely is it that connecting passengers from, say Atlanta, going to, say Novosibirsk, will have the 2 checked bags at 70lbs each as their allotted amount? As we know, all Russian airlines are notorious for the 20kg limit though I have found some exceptions on interline ticketing agreements (S7 and LH for one).

Do all ST partners allow the 2 at 70 for travelers originating in the U.S. and flying to wherever? Might this be a given in order to be in ST?
