Greetings, all. I have sent this out in order to contact you regarding something I've had on my mind for quite some time. I wish to set up some sort of airline alliance, possibly a redo of the Star Alliance, which disbanded in 2001. This alliance would boost tourism to our nations, as well as support pilot friendships, and the like. Overall, our countries will all benefit in the end from this.

I hereby invite you all to Warsaw Chopin Airport. We can discuss terms there.

With the kindest regards,
Rafal Milczarski
CEO of
LOT Polish Airlines

Dear Mr Milczarski,

We are most interested to hear of the proposal for an alliance. Air France has always been a leading innovator in air travel, and the formation of an alliance between other first class airlines seems like a natural progression for the company.

I would be more than happy to attend the meeting at Warsaw Chopin Airport to discuss this matter further and look forward to it.

Best regards,

Henri Bonnot
Air France CEO

From Brian Lennox, CEO of Air Rhodesia

Air Rhodesia would like announce it's full scale support for the reestablishment of the previously dissolved star alliance believing such alliance to be extremely beneficial to both the Rhodesian economy and the continent of Africa as a collective whole. I shall attend the meeting at Chopin Airport in Warsaw as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Brian Lennox

I am glad to see you all have positively reacted to this proposal. It really makes me happy. This will be a fantastic meeting, I assure you.

As for when and where, I was thinking that April 9th would work for all of us, hopefully. I would be willing to host you in room 117, in the North Hall of the airport. There is a conference room there, on the right, after you enter from door 14. Above that is a sign that reads "pokój konferencyjny", or Conference room.

The room has enough seating for all of you, approximately 35 chairs, and a large centre table for us to chat and sit and all of that good stuff.

As of now, we are still waiting on a reply from British Airways, and we also may consider issuing an invitation to Aeroflot, also known as Russian Airlines. In the case of that, we may push the meeting back to April 10th or 11th.

With the kindest regards,
Rafal Milczarski

Due to the nature of the current worth of LOT Airlines, the British Airways CEO has confirmed that they will not be representing in Poland as it considers the possibility of an alliance a threat to their own economy with last records of LOT Airlines showing their total net worth at a shocking negative 14.5 billion dollars with projection of further decline. With this in mind, to ensure the security of British Airways Net Worth and to minimise the risk of any declination, they would not be attending but thank the CEO of LOT for their invitation nonetheless and hope for the best.
