Rssrsvp, I understand exactly what you're asking of FT's staff and of the moderators.
Keep in mind that the IATA codes currently shown in the sublines of the topic names had to be manually entered.
As a matter of fact the sub-headlines were proofread by the other two moderators and me, and several corrections were made. It is terribly time-consuming.
Please know that _if_ UBB could be programmed to convert airport names into IATA codes, it would have been done. Trust me on this one - I hack UBB for a living.
Unfortuately, while UBB is a very good threading software it isn't so good as a surrogate human interpolator: in other words, it _can't_ make decisions.

essxjay, you should look at the main page of FT Airports.

All that we are talking about is adding the airline code right next to the airline name on the main FT Miles page the same way they did it on the Airport page. It is not a big deal involving the UBB software.</font>
