Yeah, that's the key drawback with codesharing with VX, but if it is done on a route-by-route basis, then there are a few compelling reasons for VA to be open to the idea of codesharing with VX on certain routes.

They can codeshare with multiple partners as long as those partners don't overlap too much or aren't direct competitiors. Most codeshares are agreed to on a route-by-route basis, rather than on a whole-of-airline approach.
Thanks for explaining that Andrew.
