Are GF about to join Star Alliance?
Just noticed a few things that seem to point to Gulf Air joining the Star Alliance.
1. GF now codeshare with BMI on LHR MAN
2. GF are advertising their service in the BMI inflight magazine.
3. In the terminal listings for LHR in the BMI mag, the terminals that all Star Alliance members operate from are listed, along with Gulf.
4. Virgin is a GF frequent flyer partner, and Virgin are closely linked in many ways to BMI !!!???
I guess these things may add up to nothing, but it does seem to point to a growing alliance.
Anyone else know anything?

GF has been trying to get into an alliance since JH arrived 2 years ago. I think the alliances are taking a wait-and-see attitude. Who can blame them when so new airlines are poping out ever year. The region is not stable yet for them to determine who is the best partner. EK would be perfect, but I thik they are not interested in sharing with anyone.
