Here are mine:
I understand that OW is the only airline alliance with a central management team, and that you have an office in Vancouver, BC. Are the members appointed as a representative of each oneworld airline, or did you apply for your position as any other job? If latter, where is the best place to look for interesting job openings?
What are the major challenges of working in a team that spans different corporate philosophies?
What is the most difficult part of getting all of the airlines in the alliance to cooperate? Is it the language barrier(s), the technological gap(s) between the carriers, or something other?
What is the likelihood of OW going out "headhunting," i.e. trying to lure a Skyteam or *A carrier into OW?
What are kinds of qualities do you look for in an airline to be accepted into OW - existing codeshares with OW carriers, profittability, flights to new destinations, or something else?
So far we have seen where OW recruits a carrier to join and the other where an existing OW carrier backs up a carrier for initiation. Are there any differences in the approval process, or are all potential carriers treated with equal consideration?
