I understand this. Unfortunately for AA, the people who make these decisions don't have its best business interests in mind. They're in all likelihood looking at it from the narrow perspective of their own jobs, and acting counter to what their top management would want. FT can be a valuable resource to AA and to other airlines, but if it's perceived as bowing to their heavy-handed wishes, even when they're legally in the right, the free flow of information may dry up and with it the value of the resource. This isn't to you, Randy, but to AA's lurkers who are probably reading this thread: don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Instead, let them come out - even if that might hurt a bit in the short run - and figure out how to harvest them.
