just to muddy the waters a bit - Hainan are now rumoured to be approaching OW . My initial response was "yeah , right " - but I believe that they have had a close relationship with MA , and according to this article other OW newbie JL are keen also ( of course , according to this article CA is already in Star and CZ is already in Skyteam rather than both being 'membership in progress' so the article may not bee 100% accurate ) ... but bearing in mind that most google searches on MU seem to be about how much money it is losing and how many top level executives have been sacked perhaps it is not the most stable of possible candidates ?

opinions ??
