No viewer of this thread should feel awkward or hesitant at what she or he can contribute to FlyerTalk. FT is strong because all share with each other. As far as "the regulars" having the "inside track" on some of the forums, the first to post a very important, very recent change in the AAdvantage program was a first-time poster. (See http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=504023). Remember, we were all new posters, once.

Many of you have in your profiles travel experience that will help us all and hope you will feel comfortable sharing it in the appropriate forums.
