1. Wouldn't he be the first to beware of PROPRIETARY constraints?
2. Would you like to teach HIM about "business ethics" or are you a selective adviser?

I am positive Randy P receives proprietary information re the airlines etc in the course of operating his nice WebFlyer etc business(s). I am just as positive Randy P does not pass this very valuable information to any of his business associates, his friends, this board etc. No ethical person would.

You apparently do not realize all or almost all of the information you requested is proprietary (some companies refer to it as company confidential information). Confidentiality agreements, secrecy agreements, non-disclosure agreements etc exist, are signed, and are strongly enforced for this very purpose (I suggest you look further into this area). I have signed up to 12 in any given year.

And if you do not think your requested information is not confidential, then I wonder why you wrote the following in your original post......."desperate after several days on the internet, I'm still looking for frequent traveler statistics. Do you have any answers to the following questions (even if you just know details on your own FFP(s) - you know about the power of a community)......".

Yeah, I nicely know the power of community, and I also know my obligations to it too. And obligations to companies with which I have a business relation with.

Each year or two I send a hefty payment to Randy P for FF-related services he ingeniously thought up and successfully marketed. I do/did so fully assuming he will not give out my name, my ff numbers, my ff mileage/point data, my address, my credit card no etc. He hasn't in the past, and I am certain he won't in the future. I am not so sure about, well, others....
