Yay! I've been horrified at the thought of having them in OW. They're easily the worst of China's big 3 airlines.

It is now time for oneworld to accept Hainan Airlines' application to join... since Hainan is the only Chinese carrier that earned the 4 Star Airline status from Skytrax.

OW is quite... arrogant some times... Its clear that they are losing out in China and South East Asia market already...

Not going to happen given HU's links to CX enemies HX/UO.

Even UO/HX are enemy at HKG ground, those 2 are no where near CX/KA scale which poses insigificant competition.

How about having Hinan but not having the UO/HX under the umberlla?

Well, UO/HX can be non-member affiliates of the alliance, like Jetstar for Qantas. I think Hainan is a good complement to CX/KA's network, they flies to quite a few different destinations (eg. Seattle, Brussels, Berlin, Budapest and St. Petersburg).
