BA and QR enter revenue and code sharing pact
BA and Qatar Airways are entering a revenue sharing pact, effective from 30 October. This will mean codesharing on all flights between the UK and Doha, as well as a range of other flights. It will all the airlines to co-operate on schedules and prices, offering passengers greater flexibility and an attractive range of fares.
Well - this was long time coming - it might just give better options in terms of destinations and fare combinations - but there is a little niggling worry that the cooperation on prices will only push them one way: up.

Overall, should be good news. But it will highlight the gulf to more passengers between the 2 airlines (I'm talking in premium cabins - not so sure in Y).
The only concern would be that this is another cartel (sorry, JBV) that ultimately pushes prices in one direction.

The transatlantic JV hasn't stopped the rock bottom prices we're seeing at the moment.
Still isn't specific on which markets the JV will cover, doubt it's the whole of europe to the whole of Asia and Africa.
