Interesting that the Economist has picked up on the alliance challenges, including the current Skyteam scuffles.

A senior executive at one of SkyTeam's member carriers expressed admiration for these new, smaller partnerships. "Alliances are a thing of the past," he told me. "It's a bad solution to a problem which is basically about to disappear: that consolidation is impossible. The barriers [to consolidation] are going to fall sooner or later."
