Welcome to the New Frontier

Someone had to make the first post, Here it is.

Looking forward to many insightful discussions here, as we have had on the old board. Moving forward as One.

I thought I would give somebody else that honor. But I will be the first reply.

Yay!

I have posted a reply already to something in the old thread, and it permitted it. So what makes sense...post all new threads here on the combined board, but let active topics in the old threads wind down on their original board?

There aren't that many hot, ongoing topics at the moment so hopefully it's a moot point soon. But it seems clumsy to start a new thread in this new board to reply to something posted in the old board.

I would have just combined both into this thread. It would have been redundent, but an easier way to get it started.

Glad to be here in the new board!

I think knope was referring to the thread about the AirTran credits in exhcnage for donating Midwest Miles.

It was probably better to just finish off that thread.

I made a request to essxjay to move some threads from the Frontier and Midwest forums into this combined forum. Below are the suggestions. We'll see what she decides. I'm hoping they are relevant to the combined discussion.

Milwaukee Food Options Thread
Milwaukee-Hartford starts 9/27
Stretch seats?
Milwaukee-Tucson
"Express" boarding?
No Snacks
Service resumption to Steamboat Springs
How Does Frontier Assign Seats
New Schedule
inflight magazine
new stl-pvr service
milwaukee san antonio starts nov 19th
MCI-AUS starts 11/18
F9/YX adds MKE-CUN nonstop
First RJ painted in Frontier colors

Partnership ends with AirTran
Stretch Seating

Additional Suggestions:

C Series Airplane Order
Guide to the Milwaukee Airport

Thanks! Can "Guide to the Milwaukee Airport" be added? That's one of those threads which gets brought back up periodically for a legitimate reason.

Thanks for the list, MA. The trucks will roll shortly.

Rather than moving threads en mass I'll be moving them individually, which actually doesn't take that much longer but does have one very attractive benefit -- the option of my adding an expiring or permanent redirect. Meaning, a thread may (in a sense) appear to be open in multiple places but really is just a single, active thread in the parent forum. (You'll see what I mean by clicking around the pre-alignment/child fora.) From past experience we've found it's a gentler way of keeping discussions easy to find and access no matter which forum one prefers to start reading in.

Feel free to post additional candidates for moving in this thread. If within a couple of hours you find discussions still in need of repositioning, PM me and/or send an owl post to [email protected]. I'll be standing by.

I just saw the move, and it's great!

Thanks to both MostlyAir and essxjay for all of their work in seeing this to fruition.

Use your best judgment about where to initiate new threads. Moving threads around is a relatively simple matter on my end so it's entirely up to you how quickly we populate the new parent forum.

But it seems clumsy to start a new thread in this new board to reply to something posted in the old board.
For the sake of continuity I would suggest replying to existing convos wherever they may be and give me a heads up if they need to be moved (or moved back as the case may be).

Just to give you a sense of the admin tools at my disposal, here are the possible actions available at the thread level:
• Close Thread
• Move (with options to leave no redirect, leave a permanent redirect or leave a discretionary redirect of X hours/days/months)
• Copy (with options to leave either or both versions open)
• Edit (all sorts of surgical options)
• Delete (renders thread invisible to most members, mostly used on feelthy spammers™)
• Stick
• Merge (graft one discussion onto other using either thread title, w/posts sorted chronologically)
• Remove redirect
About the only irreversible action is the Merge function (though I may be misremembering). Bottom line is, whatever can be done can usually be undone so no worries about burdening me.

Done.

Anything else?
