In a few of the posts about the RTW fare changes I saw some posts about the airlines watching the board.

You would be amazed with what they learn from us...

When I called the AA RTW desk a few months ago I learned they read everything on these boards, every day, and I think a few actually participate (although they don't let on who they are).

I'd spent years lurking around FT and finally started posting when I needed some RTW ticket help. A week after I posted my questions here I called the RTW desk to book my ticket only to find that the agent was waiting for me! As soon as I started asking some of the same questions I had posted on the board they asked if I was a FT'er. Then they told me about some of the incorrect answers I had receieved and said they were all wondering when I would call. Told me they all followed the board but 'weren't allowed to particiapte'. Practically had my itin waiting for me...

So the moral of the story, they read EVERYTHING.
