Several people have been emailing me questions about the talkies, so I figured I'd post some answers here, for all to see.

BTW: If you're not familiar with the talkies, see:
http://talk.flyertalk.com/forum/Forum1/HTML/001736.html

1) All flyertalkers(including employees of inside flyer and airline/hotel employees are eligible to vote)

2) Several people asked about more categories. I wanted to start off with the basics. I'm looking at running these several times a year, so we'll have the chance to include affinity cards and car rentals and such.

3) Can you vote for the same company both for the Best and Worst in the same category?

Yes, but perhaps you should check into Bellevue first

4) It was also suggested that I post a talkie's announcement in the various airline forums. I'm not a big fan of spam and it would be a lot of work. I didnt want to post to some of them, as it would appear like I was playing favorites. However if you wish to drum up support in your favorite forum, I think thats fair.

My goal was to create a method for us to be heard by the industry. The more of us that participate the better chance of that happening.
