Looks like Delta Air Lines is trying to buy Singapore Airline's 49pc stake in Virgin now which would open them up to joining the Sky Team Global Alliance.
Delta plots to take control of Virgin Atlantic - Telegraph
Is it me or has it been suggested before over a year ago?

Anyway I don't think it is a good idea in my opinion, for a start VS is being squeezed by BA for a start and Air France-KLM (who would have to involved in a deal like this) is in a rather poor financial state, the only benefit out of all of this is that they gain more market share on the LHR-JFK route (which can be done if they merged with AA), all their other needs in Europe and even the UK are well served by Air-France-KLM
I fear that this is going to end in a LH/BD/BA style mess
