Shocked that Kingfisher hasn't gone down the drain yet... In fact, they are still listed as a future member of oneworld!

Probably just keeping them there in the unlikely event they survive.

you guys have piled on an astounding quantity of death wishes for Kingfisher the past months. You know, maybe you've just given them additional support and help them actually slowly come over their predicament :cool:
So, next time you really really wish them down the drain, try a different tactic, shower them with abundant praise! :D

Kingfisher is the best airline ever!

How could anybody think that Kingfisher is going bankrupt! They will be here forever, the most profitable company in the world!

I think they mean kingfisher Airlines, not Kingfisher Beers or whatsoever.

Of course it's the airline. How could you confuse an unprofitable company like the beer with such a fantastically profitable airline?

You are either extremely funny, or have no idea of accounting...lol...I prefer to think that you are funny and saying things in opposite manner...;)

Perhaps this will explain:

CX is building its own program prior to dump One world
 

CX is doing very well and great financial reports.

However, it is promoting its own program Asia Miles.

Most economy tickets does not offer AA miles.

Asia Miles is a second tier program, almost useless for most people

Every airline in OW has its own programme (with the exception of BA and IB). This has always been the case, and it has always been common to have many restrictions on earning miles discount Y fares. Nothing new and nothing related to CX dumping OW.

BA and IB has Avios, similar to Asia Miles in terms of functionality.

Asia Miles has beeen there for ages. It was revolutionary as it is designed for members who only want to accumilate miles only no statues. SQ, MH and VN used to be a member as well.

You meant Passages, which was used by CX, SQ, and MH. Passages ceased to exist and AM was created when CX joined OW.

I hereby declare oneworld alliance dead!
