Its strange that Tap has no mention of the latest news on their website. Although I did find this press release of Tap reinforcing flights to Venezuela as of June 2005.

Correct.

Last week I saw a 320 with a star alliance sticker next to fwd entry door (do not remember immat).
The station mgr was happy to see it

I think this can only be positive for TAP. It is a great alliance. They did a good thing to join it. Better than the qualifyer group where they were in a long time ago. They got out just in time.

Why do all the airlines go for Star? I much prefer Oneworld

The main reason that Tap opted for Star Alliance instead of Oneworld is simple. Iberia beeing a major player in the Iberian Peninsula, belongs to Oneworld so to mark their territory Tap opted for Star as the most logical decision.

My GOOODDDDD... WHY.... I loved the star alliance, not anymore obviously....

It takes TAP about 3 years, 654 letters & 121 phone calls to get your frequent flyer points credited to your account...
