DOT decision on AA/BA

[FrequentFlierCA]

Unless I'm missing a press release about VS joining Star, that's just speculation on the part of enthusiasts.

If anything, I could see Virgin forming its own alliance with the Virgin branded carriers, and perhaps bringing in one of the Gulf carriers and Malaysian.

And the Virgin airlines should be allowed to do exactly this now that AA/BA has rightly (and finally) been approved. For all of Sir Richard's whining, there's still nothing stopping him from creating his own alliance and seeking immunity for it.
