The good old days of carte blanche acceptance of Alliances may be coming to an end.
The Oneworld proposal seems stuck in no man's land. It was supposed to be given the green light (with changes of course) last week, but so far nada.
On both sides of the Atlantic - the regulators are watching much harder. The last approval (Continental + Star) was given the all clear by the DoT over the objections of the DoJ. It wont be that easy next time round. On the EU side - the regulators sent a 400 page document to the participants. Probably this will mean that there needs to be slots to be surrendered at LHR which seems to be over Willie's dead body.
This is a song that is going to be sung for quite a while yet.
Cheers
