Rumors are out there that SAA will not renew their codeshares with Delta. Please do not read this as SAA looking to buy into an alliance--just that they are not happy with their current codeshare agreement.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm an amateur when it comes to airline strategy _and_ I think I've seen reference to impediments to JAL joining oneworld, but:
AA's beefing up service to NRT (JFK-NRT, a second DFW-NRT instead of DFW-KIX, next year's LAX-NRT, etc.) makes me wonder if they're planning to do more with JAL, if not welcoming JAL to oneworld. (Yeah, I know that they axed SEA-NRT, but that could have accompanied SEA's transition to a "seasonal" destination).
Any thoughts?

finally CA/MU have got the gov't's nodding on joining alliance.
the most likely scenario is they will each join *A/OW, but it is also likely that they both join OW, as they both are in good relationship with CX (MU is a partner of asiamile already).
(in such case CZ will join *A.)
however, the main obstacle for joining OW is the IT requirements and the related costs, it may take at aleast a couple years....
