For India & Russia though, the new format is actually, IMHO, the least logical way of grouping. No new FT'er that doesn't know that the India/Russia forums exist will easily find or stumble upon these 2 fora.
With all due respect cuz I like & value your opinion, on this one I'll disagree. I started thinking about this due to this thread & the request to turn AofI back.

If I was new to FT I'd actually probably look for location if I wasn't looking for a specific airline program.

So India-based or Hawaiian-based or Russia-based would probably direct me closer to where I needed to be if I didn't find it under a specific airline program (which is how the rest of the airline programs are listed).

I would actually think it more strange to see Hawaii, India & Russia grouped together because the 3 have literally nothing in common other than "Airlines of".

Cheers.
