Let's stop bickering about this. The link came from AA's "Employee Communications" site, basically an area of their corporate site, which is not protected. In this area, there are plently of links to other AA sites which some does have protection. The information presented in this area is all public information, except that it is probably available a few days earlier. I do understand Burkey's point regarding not publishing it, however, I doubt the AMR corporate site can't handle the added traffic from Flyertalk. So the only reason why they would remove public access to this area is if they cared that the public had access to it, and since we know AA employees regularly visit Flyertalk, any mention of information from this "secret" area would have shut it down, direct link or not.
