Merry Flyer... will this BA/AA partnership
be like Star Alliance. Curious about some
details about this program.
With a program like this these powerhouses
will be battling it out for our business.
It's about time BA/AA got their partnership
in order. I'd be more happy at AA if I could
use my points on BA. CATMAN

___________________________________________
On September 21st, we formed an alliance. Five airlines that share a few simple beliefs.
We believe that the customer should be at the heart of everything that we do. And we believe that it should be easy for you to travel beyond the reach of our individual airline networks.
Thats why we created oneworld.
Five airlines: American Airlines, British Airways, Canadian Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Qantas, all with one vision. To make travelling around the world easier.
Together we'll start to make that vision a reality. By working together for you, we can share our individual learning and expertise to offer greater value and provide you with the very best in global travel.
Over the next few months, we'll be training and talking with our people, all 220,000 of them, so they can be of assistance to passengers from all the alliance airlines both on the ground and in the air. We'll also be providing our passengers with world wide access to more airport lounges, as well as smoother transfers across the global networks of the five airlines.
And if you are a loyal and frequent customer, you'll soon be receiving wider recognition and opportunities for more rewards.
All of this means that you'll feel at home in the world no matter which airline you fly. Because oneworld isn't just about bringing five of the world's best airlines together. It's also about bringing the world closer to you.
In everything we do, we will make sure oneworld revolves around you.

Rudi and TravelCrazy... thanks for the BA/AA
postings and warm wishes.
It appears AA is copying United (for a change) on forming this one world... Consider
a main rival for each member is a member of
Star Alliance (UA vs AA, AirCanada vs. Canadian, Cathay Pacific vs Thai... and Qantas vs. Ansett and Air New Zealand (who are expected to join Star Alliance in Jan, 1999.. RUDI please clarify if I am wrong.)
As for BA and Lufthansa... would they be
considered Rivals??? Both go worldwide and
serve Europe... Maybe. CATMAN
