I guess @home is playing up again, A FlyGirl. I've gotten timed out messages several times this afternoon on this board.
FlyBoy, what other airlines prohibit their employees from becoming members in their FF programs? Please substantiate that statement, because being a member of a FF program is no different from having an Air Miles card if you work for the Bay or Dominion or Safeway, so as to earn Air Miles on your purchases if they are eligible. FF programs are not like contests where there can be a potential conflict of interest by having employees and their families participate.
As for you insinuation that AC/Aeroplan employees can "pad" the accounts of themselves and relatives, you've moved to a new low. Every time I think, maybe it is time for a rapproachment, you lay one of these down. Are you seeking to take over from ozstamps or something? Maybe the mayo went to your head... or their was something else in that BA sekt you were drinking last Wednesday night?
