Will Thai Air join the Noname alliance?
If not, it won't be for lack of trying, as AF lobbies hard for it to join with it, DL and the others in the wake of the SQ/*A deal.

Air France SA has had talks with potential recruits to its SkyTeam global alliance but it is not vital that they join, the French carrier's Managing Director Pierre-Henri Gourgeon told Reuters on Monday.
``There are companies who talk to us, who question us, but we feel that an alliance with too many partners becomes difficult to manage,'' Gourgeon said.
SkyTeam's five members, which also include Delta Air Lines Inc. (NYSE AL - news), Korean Air Lines and Aeromexico offer seats on each other's flights and run harmonised timetables and frequent flyer programmes.
The grouping competes with three others, Star Alliance and OneWorld, which have 15 and eight members respectively, and the smaller Wings, which has three.
Discussions between SkyTeam and Thai Airways International Plc, which is mulling pulling out of Star Alliance, have so far led to no agreement.
