Well SkyTeam isn't exactly "awesome" but that is a personal opinion.

If TK should join then great and lucky for them, but if I would ever use them after the two flights I had to take (was rebooked by OS) is something I highly doubt. But then maybe wonders happened over the last two years so who knows. After all no one will force me to do so.
Now QR would be a delight to have in *A as they would plug a big hole in the Middle East and truly do offer a great product and excellent service. Again just a personal opinion and feel free to disagree.
