This is so true: just look at the many FF tiers (PPS I mean) accessible only to those who fly on SQ metal.... and their 'on-the-side' tie-ups with non-Star airlines like Virgin Atlantic
Wouldn't surprise me to see them take a stronger role in Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Blue, and maybe a US domestic carrier,and slip out of Star altogether
Now, back on topic
