I, too, am glad to see CO taking measured steps in this environment rather than rushing into something. It would be particularly interesting to see CO jump ship to OneWorld, but who knows if that will happen. CO is still a small carrier relatively speaking. They're number 4 in the USA, but the margin between them and #3 is pretty wide. That could prove troublesome in the long term, though they do seem to have a pretty reasonable plan for measured international growth (assuming the 787s ever arrive) and their domestic routes seem pretty decent, except for the hole on the left side of the country.
