I tend to agree with Stinger.
I am also new in this forum and I am attracted to it as it discusses the Canadian airline industry with an obvious focus on AC and Aeroplan. Anything that happens to WestJet or Jetsgo or the other regional players does have an impact on AC and in my opinion is worthy of discussion.
It has the added benefit of allowing us with a common interest - travel and airlines - to exchange views on off topic items and see the points of view from across the country, no matter how misguided the Leafs fans are

.An added benefit is the humour that is sometimes in the posts, I am sure many of has had curious looks from coworkers and other bystanders when we are ROTFL after reading a post.
I think any hot AC related topic will stay on the 1st page as long as there is an interest, if it falls off so be it, it has obviously become of less interest. If it warrants further discussion any of us can bring back up to the top.
