Yes +1 here.
I fly EY 3x year BKK-Europe mostly in biz and occasionally need to be in YUL and fly Europe-YUL, considering EY BKK-AUH-YYZ or QR BKK-DOH-YUL.
I am not 100% pro EY though, I have sometimes issues with EY stupid marketing actions, I have considered posting about these cans of worms, but have not because there is no dedicated EY board.

Etihad as an airline has a really good case to be considered a major international airline worthy of its own forum. It serves about 68 destinations, and it announces more and more destinations almost every month. It has one of the airline industry's most ambitious expansion plans in terms of purchasing aircraft and new destinations and code shares.
Etihad's product is highly rated for the most part, and its first class and business class product are industry leading. As controversial as some of those travel awards are, it has gained quite a few in the last few years. Most users of Flyertalk seem to want to fly Etihad and are curious to learn more.

I have no idea how SanDiego1K did that in just 20 minutes. Maybe she's our fairy godmother or something...

Thanks Talkboard for working through this one.
Here's an Easter Egg of sorts to sweeten the EY FFP forum discussions.
EY did an second (AA-like) reciprocal FFP Earn & Burn tie-up, this time with Malaysia Airlines. VERY handy for a lot of us who were in favour of the forum.
Another real-life FFP avenue for miles transfer or accumulation, especially those of us with MH points. Perhaps even beneficial for other MH FFP partners and FTers.
The second EY FFP deal; news links as posted in our new FT Etihad Guest forum:

Thanks and I am motivated to participate more, now that EY has its FFP elevated by our TalkBoard.
Thanks Carol for the rapid action to move the threads to the forum, too.

I think I would agree with you. They will have to move the threads into new EY forum. Someone will have to do it for you.
