Anyone worried that the star alliance is growing too fast? I think so anyway!

Growth is all nice and well, but you have to have an organisation capable of growth, and in the case of the star alliance growth on a massive scale. The thing is, many companies in many industries have grown very fast in the past. And a good deal of them could not cope with the demands. The solution for many of those companies was to hire more and more personnel, which in the end inflated costs too high.

I think that the Star Alliance should consolidate what they have and then move further. Heck, their North American partners are in a dire financial position. USAirways looks very threatening. UA seems to be pulling through but is still in a lot of problems. Air Canada is not going particularly nicely either.
