A good question. Actually, we also own an ARC certified travel agency in-house because we do several million dollars a year in travel booking for customers in our related products such as award booking, etc. I do know that group does use FT for general travel ideas and reference. I actually have no problem with any person or persons no matter their commercial enterprise to be using FT. We have enough areas of the board to isolate those types of general interest information exchanges without diluting the value of some of the frequent flyer program related boards. This board was introduced with an idea toward open standards, as long as those coming on board abide by the general conditions of accepted behavior. Invite who you may, I think in the area of General Travel that visitors to the boards may welcome the experience of travel agents for both contributing to and taking away valuable insight.
