Also... Russia's S7 formally to join Oneworld
Oneworld member Royal Jordanian Airlines has revealed S7's joining date, and says the alliance's network will extend to another 55 destinations as a result. (Flight Global)

- cessation of activities by MX
- financial difficulties of JL shrinking their route network
- failure to recruit MU and therefore less chance of a mainland China partner
- LA/TAM merger putting South American dominance into question

Finally, a confirmed date. I was really starting to think if S7 was going to jump ship to *A because there were rumours that LH was in talks with them about that.
Hopefully, AA will consider to relaunch flights to DME so to compete better against SU for US-Domestic Russia flights. With CX's new flights to DME, it's becoming a significant OW hub. Any chance of AY switching to DME?

Given the choice between LAX-JFK-DME on AA or LAX-HKG-DME on CX I know which I'd take!

Oh sure, but CX accrual on AA is lowsy and their fares at accrual levels are through the roof. I agree service levels are different worlds, but apparently AA members can't have their CX cake and eat it too (or something like that)!
