possibly....but they will make sure jet gets its act together....
kingfisher failed because the people in charge had no idea how to run an airline....

Plus even if they do travel a lot and get miles/points, they dont get any upgrades to show for, even though most of the business cabins go half empty.
they definitely do care....there are other reasons why ai & jet aren't doing well....not just their frequent flyer programs....people in india are still getting used to the programs....
ai is a joke when it comes to earning miles....but jet is pretty decent....they give full miles on almost all sectors....
but both airlines need to improve their programs....if tata can come up with a good program then i can easily see jet & ai losing a lot of business....
