"India Based Airlines"
 

I am not a fan :td::td::td::td:

So, I think it's time for a petition to submit to Babu and SanDiego1K. I want the "Airlines of India" title back.

Anybody else on board?

Folks,

As you've noticed, we're changing the name of the forum to India based airlines (sorry PVDtoDEL, we're not changing it back :D).

This is being done for two reasons:

1) consistency with other fora- i.e., we named Hawaii based Airlines with the destination first

2) ease of finding it - since forums are in alphabetical order, folks are more likely to look for India than Airlines

Thanks for your posts and contributions!

Babu,
Moderator, Airlines of India

:td: I'm sure this position will change if enough people sign the petition :)
AoI is a special forum. We don't need to be consistent with everyone else :p
While it may be easier to find for newcomers, I now have to scroll 1/2 way down the page to find it :td:.
Most new people will find this forum through google anyway, not the front page.

What he said.

LOL!! I am too lazy to scroll down the Airlines page. :D

Petition:

We, posters on the Airlines of India forum, request that the name of the Airlines of India forum be changed back.

Anyone else?

Why is the hyphen missing in the forum name?

I don't mind the forum name adjustment but at least be consistent and get it right.

I start my FT experience thru 'myflertalk' where I only see the forums I subscribe to. AOI now dropped below bmi DC, no biggie...

Why the change? What's up with the missing hyphen? And "Based" is not typically capitalized in phrases in these.

*dislike*

And, the second line (description) has said for a long time "...Indian-based airlines". Why doesn't the FT policy forbid bad grammar?

I just posted in the Tech issues thinking the forum had disappeared altogether as it wasn't between AC and NZ! :o Phew, what a relief I found it. :D

Seriously, not bothered about the new name here. Kinda trivial to get your knickers in a twist about. ;)

i agree its irritating but no big deal....either one is fine by me....

:td:

You give up too easily. Sign the petition, not say "either is fine"

Wow, you're asking folks to sign a "petition", but then chastising them if they choose not to because they are either a) okay with the change, or b) aren't wild enough about it to sign. :td:

Kinda like saying "I want your opinion, but if it's different than mine I'd prefer you not say anything".
