Please tell me this is not true?? Are oneworld THAT desperate to have a Middle Eastern carrier? WHY on earth RJ?

they are a terrible airline and Amman's Queen Alia Airport a catastrophe to say the least..next they'll be allowing Syrian Arab into oneworld!!....What happened to the Skytrax 4 star airlines like MEA, Gulf Air, Emirates, Qatar??? Surely working hard to get one of those on board would have made more sense.
