Avek00 question or others that can answer
Just a quick question...I am probably not up-to-date on the latest news, but is there a reason for your tagline stating CO is a proud member of the SkyTeam alliance? I thought Aeromexico, Air France, Alitalia, Czech, Delta, and Korean Air are the only members (per their website). I also understand DL-NW-CO are linking up domestically. Are there plans for NW and CO to join up with the DL-led Skyteam (thus explaining your tagline)?

Quite an alliance:
CO: Twice bankrupt, could return unless liquidity issues are addressed.
NW: Threatening its employees with bankruptcy unless they accept concessions.
DL: The strongest of the bunch, but still posting staggering losses.

Doing my part to continue this thread down the "my airline is better than yours" death spiral . . .
