		<description>I&#039;d rather hear the bad news warnings up front than to see them try to do a quick switchover and blow it completely. And as noted above, the end result will produce far more options for Continental fliers internationally. Skyteam is looking pretty skimpy now.</description>

		<description>RJP, I take it you&#039;re not familiar with the rather interesting landings and takeoffs at Tegucigalpa - Toncontin in Honduras?

		<description>the short term pain of messy transition is well worth the long time gain of joining the alliance of SQ/NH/LH. With the mergers of AF-KL and DL-NW, SkyTeam has degenerated into a duopoly, with the rest of the alliance treated as second class citizens whenever there&#039;s a conflict of interest with the 2 lead airlines, which is essentially reverting to the good ol&#039; NW-KL relationship. Why stay in a bottom-feeder alliance when Star gives them a chance to shine?</description>
