IMHO, the more the merrier in most cases.
Those of us who frequent the AA forum know who to take seriously and who is just floundering on over because 1) AA recently did what UA and US couldn't 2) AA continues to provide a superior product and service in many cases 3) AA's stock price has gone up over 500% in the last 2 months

and CNBC can't stop talking about AMR!
While I agree some posters can be rather annoying, I agree with Industrialpatent that there is some worth to them.
As for SEA_Tigger not setting a foot on an AA plane I find that hard to believe

! I remember when I joined FT a few years ago, it was people like SEA_Tigger, RESRDU, Industrialpatent, and others that were always able to provide helpful information. Maybe it was because I was new to FT that it seemed so great, or maybe it was because the economy was booming, airplanes and airports were packed, and AA was matching UAs 100% bounus miles promotion with the code TTBM or something like that !
The industry sure has changed over the past few years, but it would be kindda sad to Industrialpatent and others go
Just my 2 cents.
Whew! I made it before the moderator cap come out
