Hey guyz... I wrote to MH. I told them that I need to know when they will join so that I can plan my itineraries... and this is what they said when they wrote back...

I know its still a bit vague...

I've tried to parse this wondrous sentence - I don't think it actually says anything at all:rolleyes:

I think Sir Humphrey Appleby must have written it!

No. Its written by a non-native English speaker using fluffy words that they think means a lot.

Majority of the world is non-native english. :cool:

I think the sentence says something. They don't have a firm date yet. Also, describing it as a journey may indicate that there is a lot of bilateral agreements still to be made and the process may take sometime, even after the join date. This was the case for AB, IIRC.
Just my 2 cents.

Very droll. :p

December isn't too far ahead, lets hope they meet the requirements by then.

I love it when people talk posh when English isn't their first language, it always results in plenty of errors. :P

No, they speak a foreign language. They doesn't have a correctly the sentenced. They never learn how to speak a English skills.

Ah the reason that it is!

If this helps a little:

About oneworld

oneworld aims to be the first choice airline alliance for the world's frequent international travellers. It brings together some of the best and biggest names in the airline business - airberlin, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN, Qantas, Royal Jordanian and S7 Airlines, and around 20 affiliates including Austria's NIKI, American Eagle, Dragonair, LAN Argentina, LAN Ecuador and LAN Peru. Malaysia Airlines is on track to join later in 2012, with SriLankan now to follow in 2013.

The language is not the best. But in fairness, it actually communicates what they want to convey, ie that they are joining with the emphasis on action, but without any commitment that would allow people to complain if it all goes wobbly at the last moment.

Hopefully it will be end December. The lounges at KUL have been reconfigured in anticipation of elite travellers using them and access to them modified in line with how it will work post joining. I heard a September date mentioned for an announcement, although we should all remember Kingfisher and Air India...
