Which agreements? I doubt they are dropping all agreements with non oneworld members, just those that would conflict with another oneworld member (such as NH vs JL and DJ/VA vs QF).

From a Star Alliance customer perspective, One World does seem to have lost their competitive advantage - there are just so many more partners in Star.
From a leisure traveller perspective, there is little incentive to want to switch or ride One World metal when Star will take you there, and get points.
Perhaps if I was in SYD or HKG or LHR, and One World was my only choice, then it would make more sense to be a part of their program, but it seems that the amount of metal available from Vancouver doesn't really suit my needs.

Agreed. Although the Air China joint ownership thing certainly makes things interesting, the only way I could see CX leaving oneworld is if the alliance was on the verge of collapse (which it is not).

I would agree with this now but not 10 years ago.
*A is becoming the alliance, if not already is. Of course it helps when you have hundereds of airlines
Yes that is an exageration but I remember some *A liveries where the fuselage was painted in colours of member airlines....an A340-600 would struggle to have this scheme now.
