Please lock this thread...
As MisterNice has pointed out, this thread violates FlyerTalk TOS -- could you kindly lock it?

This appears to be a commercial venture (assuming the poster actually has the certs).
Please lock this thread.

Please lock this one as well... it's turned into a slamfest directed at a particular FTer.

I don't agree about locking the above-referenced threads. Let them stand as valid input from the FT community.
Locking those threads would be censorship.

I agree with essxjay, don't lock these threads as it would be 'unnecessary' censorship. I've just read these threads and they are fine IMHO. Attention should be spent at far worse threads than these

Perhaps our usually highly efficient and sharp-eyed (but overworked and underpaid) Moderators missed the operative word "sell" in the posters first sentence. I certainly didnt. And IMHO any posting in FT anything having a monetary value of the order $40k-$50K should raise red flags immediately. Newbies may be fooled and screwed outta some hard earned miles etc.
No way can this be legit under the FT TOS.

Excellent point with which it is tough to disagree, IMHO!

Even more curious, somebody at FT took the time to edit a response in that thrread which purportedly violated FT TOS.

cactus, that was me... We received a few emails about the posting of someone's personal information in it, so rather than wait for MileTrader to edit his/her post, I removed it but left the thread open. We'll take a look at these others as well, but we're all involved in other projects right now, so it may take a little bit.
