The SR Group (leaded by worldwide catering activities) makes resanoble overall profits - it is (only) the airlines (except SR and Crossair) that prouduce losses.

Switzerland is still NOT a member of the European Community (and, together with the Vatican, also the only two countries NOT being in the United Nations).

IMHO, the only reasonable alliance choice for SR would be oneworld, given that they are already codesharing with:
AA
CX
QF
AY
and Aer Lingus on the BSL-DUB route...

I would like SR to join *A.... more airlines mean more frequencies, and I cant see SR lowering the average service on Star Alliance... Rudi, how is SR in International Business Class??

Observers generally expect that SairGroup will sooner or later join either the Oneworld airline alliance led by British Airways and American Airlines or Lufthansa's Star alliance.

Took SR sometimes because of the youth fare out of ZRH, always economy. Recaro seats, friendly service and the best airline food ever: all organic (but the Mövenpick ice cream).
Ah, I'll love them in *A. Actually, I may even move to OW if they do so. Imagine Swissair and Cathay under same alliance, with 100% AA bouns miles...
