I can only imagine how many passengers have shown up at the WRONG AIRLINE.

I am waiting for the day when one major code share airline goes under. Can you imagine the mess? This is the inherent problem with Code Shares and has been since their inception.

The difference is really simple, in the case of a car, you still get a car and you know who to take it to for service. Even if your Honda was actually built by Izuzu, the Honda dealer that sold it to you will service it. Now when you buy an airline ticket on a code shared flight, no one will service it if there is a problem. The actually operating carrier will point you to the carrier shown on your ticket and the ticketed carrier will send you right back to the operating carrier and neither one will help you out.

I have owned American-made cars for the past 20 years and have not had major problems with any of them. In fact, I just bought a new Ford and find it's quality just as good or better than the foreign-made rentals I've had of late. As long as you take care of your car, it will take care of you. That's true whether your car is American, German, or Japanese. Here you go too in perpetuating the myth that our domestic auto industry does not make quality products.

So if you're counting on receiving miles, you'll have to find out the booking class - such as T, V, W - and check to make sure you'll earn those miles on the FF program you're hoping to.
