It's as if they act like one carrier one minute and totally separate the next. At least IB is in Oneworld with all that comes along with that. I know EI is more of a hybrid low-cost carrier but look at how SQ treats Scoot, there's FF integration etc.
Again, you're just making irrelevant comparisons that have absolutely nothing to do with your ability to book EI awards through CX. What on earth does being rebooked on BA have to do with CX? All that talk about BA and SQ and TR is really just confusing yourself, quite frankly. The bottom line is EI is a separate airline with no FFP partnership with CX, regardless of who owns what.
