If you are going to pretend you know everything at your age, prove it. Layout all the figures. This industry has seen lots of ups and downs but also seen some carriers managed to pull through despite it wasn't the size as it used to be.

I don't claim to know "everything" - but from what I do know, it doesn't seem likely that IT is going to last, much less join an alliance.

I have many of those figures (albeit slightly outdated) in writing from a person at Corp. Comm. at IT, who has since moved to a different job. Unfortunately, the email is in Hindi. But if you want, I'll forward you the email (and a translation). Just send me a PM with your email address..

Aviation is most definitely a volatile industry, where you can never say never. But logic still applies most of the time.

But does it warrant the use of exaggerative language?

Perhaps not. But the point remains the same - IT is not in any state to join an alliance.

BA has removed the filing in the OAG in the last two hours.

The point does not remain the same because the focus will shift to your exaggeration and biased view since you're AI-cheerleader.

Hmm, interesting. Thanks for the update :)

I wonder what prompted them to file it in the first place...
