When is COPA joining Skyteam?
Ok, perhaps I'm a bit confused on this. When is COPA joining skyteam? Or have they already joined as "associates"? Anyone know what's going on?

For reasons unknown, it takes a considerable period of time between the announcement of pending ST membership and the actual happening. Aeroflot took a couple of years, China Southern was announced in Aug 2004 and they are still not in, and COPA, Kenya, Tarom and Air Europa were announced a year ago. Other pending carriers include Portugalia and Middle East AL.
In other words, do not hold your breath waiting for this!
