Its being too optimistic but given they are the only (sort of) reliable full-service carrier in India, it should be possible.
And now under watchful eye of Etihad, they should just make sure to utilize the partnership to the maximum extent possible.

Earlier this year I was thinking Etihad could join one of the major groups but as already QA joins OW, dunno if they could jump to Skyteam or Star Alliance; I think maybe Etihad is building his own little army with all these acquisitions, perhaps they are going to create their own group with all the airlines
I have use Jet Airways for almost one year only for my domestics flights in India, and I don't really understand how their business is bad... the route I flight is a 1 hour flight from Mumbai to Vadodara and viceversa, and I could say that these flights are always more than 80% capacity, sometimes its just fully booked.
If Etihad is able to manage them correctly I believe this is possible.

From the above article:
"If we complete our talks with Alitalia, we will be the fifth largest airline group in the world”
Etihad is taking a very different route and investing heavily in cash-strapped airliners around the world. We should wait and watch as to how this can be a win-win model for everyone.
As far as Jet airways is concerned - they would have to price aggressively to compete with low cost carriers in India as well as on their US/Canada routes compete against numerous foreign players. May be they are forgoing some revenue to attract traffic and losing money.

I would not hold my breath on the 9W 'turnaround'...
- Greater domestic competition from 6E/I5 and newly minted *A AI
- No tangible advantage to fly 9W - neither *A miles nor low fares
- Same old unmotivated crew, now overworked by EY
- Castrated service on 'Lite' flights

have they begun cross fleeting?? Isnt that only allowed when merger's take place? or is this the 77W that is wet leased to EY?
EY also bought 4 or 5 AI 777-LR's ... so I would expect those to be starting service soon.. mostly IAH, LAX routes i think..

Are you sure it will be 9W crew? EY is starting new service from AUH-SFO with 9W aircraft but operated entirely by EY. I think EY is using the stake in 9W to fill the stop-gap in shortage of long range planes while they wait for new deliveries.

There's hope for new seats but who knows when they'll be in service
