I have heard the fellas say over and over that FlyerTalk only reaches a small segment of travelers and that there is a huge untapped market of travelers out there.
I don't know if that is the basis for a business case, but I suspect that's the audience/product they want to build.
Problem is, that space is damn crowded. It's not 1998 anymore and whatever they come up with they are far from first to market as Randy was back then.
And even then, as I said, the valuable piece of InsideFlyer was FlyerTalk. But he sold that piece. Hence my suspicion that they are slapping the less valuable MilePoint onto a new version of InsideFlyer digital magazine to try to get lightning to strike twice.
But maybe they do have something bigger in mind. I guess we'll see!
