"India Based Airlines"
I am not a fan 
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
).
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!

I'm sure this position will change if enough people sign the petition 
.Most new people will find this forum through google anyway, not the front page.

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.

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

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! 
Phew, what a relief I found it.
Seriously, not bothered about the new name here. Kinda trivial to get your knickers in a twist about.

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