If this was a 1-person or a 3-person board of advisors, then I'd be more apt to push for term limits. But this is a 9-person board with 4 or 5 members being replaced every year. In my several years on FlyerTalk, I don't believe that there's been a single year where there wasn't some TalkBoard member turnover.
Sorry, I just don't believe that it prevents new people from joining the board. And as members elect the TalkBoard, the best way to represent them is by them choosing the people that best represent their interests.
