To allow us to read "News" possibly?

I like that Forum and visit it a lot.

The correct tile of that Forum is : "In The News: News That Affects Frequent Flyers"

Not sure about others but the current threads about weighing passengers does interest me, as does "USA airlines may stop flying pets" - and where else would such threads go if covered as a News story in dailies? Which airline Forum might one go to to find that info?

If I had a vote as to a Forum that has nothing whatever to do with FT, and is often a real hot bed of issues and flames it would be OMNI. But that has been raised many times before.

The most mesmerising and informative and immediate thread I can ever recall was the WTC one Doc started and that was kept updated every few minutes by FT'ers all over the world during that horrible day.

FT'ers were waaaaay ahead of all network media worldwide on that story as to the airlines and planes and origin points involded and much other detail.

That thread was started (correctly IMO) "In The News."
