But I highly highly recommend you keep the first posts open so that you can edit. And that you're committed (like the Marriott meet-up thread or lounge access on weekends) to keeping it up to date.

The UA threads are so old and filled with annoying "newbie" posts about items besides seating that they're hard to figure out. (Mine was best C in p.s. - turns out it's Row 9).
Well this ironic! By Amtrak, I assume you refer to the Amtrak partnership for ZFV routes. But I have no idea what "Plan B" or FFCC is.

How could I not keep the OP open? I assume I could always edit it unless the thread is locked by a mod.

Also, I don't necessarily need to be the one to start each thread. For example, I have no clue the first thing about any of the regional jets. I'm much more familiar with the 772.

And with newbie, it would be very similar to the one in the consolidated forum where people are free to ask anything, and get answered by anyone who can jump in.
