Many of the reasons include, upcoming new aircraft, upgrading business classes’ fleet wide, COMPETITION FROM OTHER AIRLINES..FINALLY!!, upgraded amenities in flight (WiFi, rumor on new IFE software), Matmid Point increase for elites (i.e. European Destinations now get more miles in Business Class) etc. etc.
This board will only get more active in the coming weeks/months as the airline progresses and expands, and with competitor airlines into the region coming on strong (delta....though that might not last so long, LH adding another daily wide body, BA switching from 2 767's a day to 2 777's etc. etc.)
Overall I really believe that with a separate board I believe you'll actually see an increase in posts and information just from more visibility in the forum list/drop down menu (a large number of FT'ers don't now we exist)
That’s just my 2 cents.
Anyway thank you for taking the time to review our request for a separate forum.

jonnye - you make some good points - it seems that things are looking up for their customers!
As I suggested if you or others have concrete data like this that demonstrates there is an increasing reason for a forum you'd be advised to consider posting it to the thread other members of TalkBoard are reading:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...33#post5586833
As you may know we like to see valid reasons put forward for a new forum, and more important,
a feeling there will be general use of one if approved.
I honestly doubt any of the present Talk Board members ever fly El Al (Dovster certainly might have!) so we are guided by response by members who do. For or against.
I flew to TLV late 2005 for
Dovster's fun doo there but flew LH, and was on LH with 5 or 6 other FT'ers on the plane over, which was pretty funny.
