Default CO/UA to form strategic partnership - CO to join STAR

Interesting news overnight.

The wait to join Star will be a long, long one, but interesting if CO manage to convince the U.S. to allow anti-trust and do become a Star partner. On the down side, one less possible U.S. competitor to UA on routes to our part of the world. Apart from NW, CO was the most likely.

It's just a personal thing ... about having Star Alliance FF points and (rapidly diminishing) status.

I know how you feel... I've cashed in 90% of my UA MP chips and opened an SQ account.
