A note in support of UnitedPR,
His job is hard, and I think there are a lot of whiners on FT expecting that, for whatever reason, we deserve to know things before the general public does.
Folks, while we love miles, we are not an official lobby group! We don't deserve special advance notice. Sure, we appreciate direct communication. And we have respect for straight-talk (rather than sugar coated "enhancement" language). But come on! The majority of elites out there will not be incensed by all this. In fact, the majority of elites probably won't even be aware of this at all.
