Indeed, the CD has the final say in every matter. I think that if TB recommended that the name be changed back, she would probably be fine with it though. I have written to her to better understand her position on this issue

Airline Programs on FT,
India-based Airlines Forum is no longer the 4th forum from the top.
I do get the sense of community part in AoI but what exactly are changing other than a different name? It's not like we are calling this orange an apple from now on. Are the forum frequenters of AoI going to change the way they participate
India-based Airlines Forum because of the name change? The AoI regulars do find and still frequent India-based Airlines, right? It's not like the airlines of India themselves had changed, unlike the recent merge of UA/CO where two groups of elites are forced to settle in the new
United Mileage Plus (Consolidated) Forum under new FFP terms.
I don't have the answer but
is India-based Airlines Forum any different
since April 4th , 2012?
Airlines of India is a name that has grown on the members of our forum over the years. It's a fitting name that stands for the content, the community, the people of our forum. Many of us have grown an attachment to the name.
India-based airlines just doesn't have the same ring to it.
It's just subjective preference I guess - but the point is that many members from our community like the name AoI better.
