I never said UA owned Star.

US's membership in Star is dependent on the approval of UA.

"US Airways is currently a Star Alliance member, including reciprocal frequent flyer programs with 15 airlines around the world. Their continued participation in the Star Alliance is dependent upon its domestic code-share relationship with United Airlines. The proposed merger would need to be approved by United as a modification to the terms of the United/US Airways code-share agreement for the purpose of being a member of the Star Alliance."

How will this transaction affect current code-shares for AWA and US Airways?
