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.
It seems like that's the trend in *A nowadays, with UA instituting a minimum spend on UA-stock tickets to earn elite status. There appears to be less cooperative & more self-serving attitudes amongst the member airlines. Not to mention less benefits for elites on member airlines.
