Since I was the lead organizer of this event, that evenutally included the Q&A session, let me make a few clarifications here.

(1) This event was open to ANYONE that wanted to attend. It was NOT invite only. There were no restrictions on the airline you flew or even if you were a FlyerTalk member. If you wanted to attend, all you needed to simply do was register before the deadline. In many cases I even took registrations WAY past the deadline. I am not aware of anyone that asked to attend that wasn't on the final list.

(2) There was no non-disclosure for this event. In fact, when I discussed this with Delta prior to the event, they were absolutely aware that anything discussed at the Q&A would utimately end up in FT and available to anyone on the internet. They are smart, they know that. The only document that attendees were asked to sign was a Waiver form that applied to the Road Warrior training. For those that attended, it was easy to see why they wanted that, and that is not uncommon for an activity of that type.

(3) At the end of the Q&A, the Delta team committed to getting answers to questions that people didn't get a chance to ask during the 2 1/2 hour Q&A session. All they needed to do is submit those to me, and I promised to consolidate them, pass them on to Delta and make my best attempt to get a response. I didn't receive any follow-up questions. I take that as an indication that everyone there felt their questions and concerns were addressed. There was a lot covered in the sesssion.

Finally, one of the key goals from on-set for this Q&A session was to create a mutually benefical and interactive environment for Delta and FT members. Jeff and Josh clearly told us before the Q&A session that they DIDN'T want pre-selected topics or questions, but that they felt it should be an environment that was free-flowing, open, frank and candid. I would say that was very well accomplished. They are keenly aware of the need for a more consistent presence on FT to continue to have on-going discussions, but it is clearly a balance of time, against key priorities and a long list of items with current integration. This session I felt was a huge step in the direction of better integration with FT, and I am personally committed to helping take that integration with FT to the next level.

Hope that helps clear up any confusion.
