What a horrible development. I just got my email and thought I'd check FT. I'm VERY glad to join my FT brethren in displaying our SEVERE distaste to these developments.
I *HATE*, I mean with a passion, HATE when companies try to tell me that making my experience WORSE is actually BETTER and NEW. It makes me feel like:
- The company is trying to hoodwink it's customers
- The company is treating me like a child
- Attempting to evoke the exact opposite attitude I have towards the information.

I know you're only doing your job, but JEEZ, to us "true" travelers here on the forum, couldn't you have at least said something like,

Not saying I'll find one given my situation, but I'M LOOKING.
