If Randy wants to go that path I am in, but recall reading in a previous post from him he very much was against that concept on principle. Anyone who wants to support the group needs only to sign up for "Inside Flyer."
I think some do not appreciate what an essential sounding board FT is for Randy's various core businesses which employs dozens of staff, (of which FT is a pretty small side issue) and a fee free FT seems to fit nicely in that business plan.
If some Airline/Hotel client hires one of Randy's entities to consult on some aspect of what they are doing/might do/are thinking of doing these boards supply him knowledable and detialed input and feedback within hours. And that makes FT a valuable resource.
But as always I may be wrong.
