Joining requirements
Is there a thread regarding the joining requirements for *A? I looked using "requirements" and "joining requirements" but could not find any. Do all members have to pay 20M a year? I thot it was only a one time fee. What is need for this fee in the first place, i mean what expenses does the alliance incur ?

beside the financial consequences I (only) know about one rule: all full members must agree (evey single full member has a veto right).

There is continuous fee for Star membership. And there is also sigificant penalty fee if an airline wanted to leave Star. I think there is a marketing and IT team based in Germany.
