If this is going to go forward, I'd like to first see a consensus on whether the forum would be a traditional FT airline forum for just South African Airways (plus its regional affiliates), airlines of South Africa (including any budget or LCCs, like the Airlines of Russia forum) or a forum focusing on everything about South Africa, including air travel, like the China forum.

Agreed. I'd really like to see the original FTer that proposed this forum and seemed pretty excited about getting it off the ground offer his input, but he seems to have disappeared.

I would love to see a forum for either:
1) South African Airways | Voyager
- or -
2) South African based airlines and mileage programs | SAA | Voyager | BA | Mango | Kulula | Safair
It doesn't matter which one - #2 would probably drive more traffic.
I'm not sure what the typical process is or what is required, but if you guys are going forward with a vote, I'm absolutely down for it

Here's my draft proposal that I posted in the private forum:
Well for anyone who didn't see, I decided to put my money where my mouth is. I'm willing to entertain a Copa forum as well as keeping the Smoking Forum open so I figure my arguments only remain unhypocritical if I suggest we move forward with a South Africa forum.
I suggest that we call it "Airlines of South Africa Including South African Airlines, Comair and Mango" and we include in the description all the major South African Carriers.
Any thoughts?

Easy to find on the index page under "S" on http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/airli...-programs-374/
Also to follow the same naming convention as "Russian based airlines". Should include "and mileage programs" to include things like the Star Alliance Voyager program and Kulula's credit card, etc.
