I would be more concerned about Star Alliance because of the moves that Lufthansa and the LH group are making away from the alliance. German domestic flights on 4U - no longer part of Star Alliance. Decreased access to award space to non Miles & More frequent fliers on Swiss. It is a similar model to that of SQ. Now this is really where the alliance is suffering - not in terms of the number of member airlines, but what the alliance means for customers - which is increasingly less.
