When initially reviewing this topic, I wasn't aware there was previous discussion on the issue here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/india...-airlines.html

In a review of that thread, I count:
  • 4 members in support of renaming it back to the old name
  • 9 members in support of the new name or who do not support renaming it back to the old name
  • 1 member who has no preference
  • 6 members who post unrelated commentary on the thread and do not express any comment on the subject itself

Given this information, I would be likely to favor the current (new) name and consistency it brings to FlyerTalk.
Reading the discussion now, I would disagree - people really seem to dislike the change. The "consistency" argument doesn't really cut it with me I'm afraid, it sounds a little like the "we've always done things this way" that people come up with when they don't have a better argument. I can't see what is so imporant about consistency - if there were thousands of entries to plow through this might be valid, but there aren't.

I loved the sound of the old name, and I can sympathise with the regulars there who are disappointed by the change.
