Agreed 100% but was trying my best to be diplomatic. As great as FT is, this is the part of FT I cannot stand -- the sense of superiority over those who dare to be smart with their money.
There is no other legitimate reason to exclude major LCCs from FT.
The LCC business model is growing fast, FT needs to move with the times.
"If you build it, they will come".
Agreed. TB would be making a huge mistake if they didn't at least try this.

Again, with all due respect I don't think it's a legit comparison. China Southern is part of SkyTeam. This means it's discussed on the SkyTeam board, the DL board, the old NW board, the AF/KL board, the old CO board before they went *A... there is no such outlet currently for EZ/RA. We're talking about making one so they will also have >>500 threads.
