there is a rumour in Brazil that LATAM (TAM) is trying to buy a stake in brazilian regional TRIP, in portuguese:
Tam obtém aval da Lan para negociar compra de parte da Trip
Luiz Marcos Fernandes
Apesar de só ter admitido um acordo de code share entre as duas companhias, a Tam prossegue as negociações para compra de parte do capital da Trip. O presidente da Tam, Líbano Barroso limitou-se até o momento a afirmar que as negociações dizem respeito a ampliação do programa de compartilhamento.
Já as especulações dão como certo que a Sky West que comprou uma fatia da Trip em 2008 venderia sua parte. A compra de parte da Trip atende aos planos da Tam de investir na aviação regional e este processo teve início já com a compra da Pantanal.
Já a partir de maio o sistema de reservas da Tam e da Trip utilizará uma tecnologia compatível permitindo a venda de assentos das duas companhias.
translating, TAM oficially says that is only trying to expand the code-share agreement with TAM, but the rumour is that TAM can buy the Skywest 20% stake in TRIP.

Not sure what happened to the last post , it looked ok in preview - it seems that the link ( from the online WSJ ) stuffs up the post .
Shares in Brazilian airline TAM SA (TAM, TAMM4.BR) fell 0.8% to $20.79 and Chile's flagship carrier LAN Airlines SA (LFL, LAN.SN) declined 1.1% to $26.17. Latam Airlines, the company resulting from the merger of TAM and LAN, is planning to buy a stake of up to 30% in Brazil's small airline TRIP Linhas Areas, local newspaper O Estado de S. Paulo reported in its Monday edition.
