Well, I can relate to those of you who do not want to count the votes of non CO flyers. And I only fly CO a little. But what about FT'ers in general voting on this becuause we all have an interest--what if all the news specific to every airline actually did get moved to the In The News forum? That would be terrible. In The News might have 100 threads a day, and it would be hard to wade through them all, and much more header space would be needed to explain what the heck airline they relate to anyway. I love a lot of Doc's news links and appreciate the way they are sorted--I seldom click on one of no interest to me. Also, the idea of one running thread with all press releases does not seem useful to me. I can't imagine I'd ever got there, but some things would actually interest me and I would look at them if topic headers were interesting. I usually look at one or two things in the CO forum every day, but don't post much since I don't fly CO much.
So, as 1/4 Swiss myself I am with Rudi and cast my vote for the status quo. But out of politelness, I will not be offended if you decide not to count my vote.
