I am surprised you are all looking at this very much from a North American perspective. Don't forget OW is (like the 2 others) a global alliance. I think MA does enhance the alliance in Europe, adding connections (and good fares) to/from places either BA or IB) don't fly to, or where it is not convenient to use them (FCO-MOW, anyone?).

Same for RJ, which adds Europe-Middle East/Gulf/Asia routes and v.v.
