both can do LHR-BOM, LHR-DEL and then
BA could do LHR-MAA/HYD/BLR/CCU
9W could do BOM/DEL-MAN/BHX/GLA
They could revenue share rather then butchering each other.
I fully agree.
On India - HKG CX and 9W could co-operate instead of butchering eachother.
9W could even focus on feeding LHR and leaving Transatlantics to BA.
Even though 9W has had major service level slips, they are still the most polished and experienced airline ex India and joining OW / reducing financial woes would seriously help them regain focus on product and customer service.
