EI - Aer Lingus
EI's new owners, IAG (owners of existing members BA+IB), stated before acquisition that they fully intended EI to rejoin, and have restated the intention since completing the purchase. EI has not yet been publically 'invited' by oneworld but should join eventually. When? When it's announced... When will EI become a full member of Oneworld?

Has anyone at 1W considered having Condor join? Its partnered with AS; it has a decent international J product with its A330-900s, and it would provide a bit more depth (along the lines of Air Berlin before it died)...

Condor routes overlap heavily with Lufthansa Group and they would be forced to compete. It's one thing if there was no oneworld coverage in EU but IAG is already there.
After AS acquires HA, they will pick up a significant amount of leisure travel,both intl and domestic.

AS has non Oneworld partners so that's not unusual.
