This website was suggested in the Frequent Flyer Crier email this week. Does anyone find the $97/year subscription worthwhile?

There's nothing on there that you couldn't figure out from FT. It's just rewritten and distilled as journalism.

I was hoping for feedback from someone who had paid the $97.
I do agree that the free material on the site comes as no surprise to people who follow FT. However, I did think that the site's focus was interesting and that the articles were helpful even if not surprising.

From my casual observation, some of their stories are dated, i.e. "Vanugard offers a First Class Cabin" when the Vanguard press release is dated July 17 of last year.
My hunch: save your money and get an Inside Flyer subscription.

I find it hard to believe that AA is doing this at all. They have an airplane that is a 3-class setup and don't sell the Biz so they can upgrade all the status and high paying travelers.
It almost seems like a UA E+ to me.

Does anyone have an opionion on whether this is worth the money? I do enough travel that getting upgrades is something I think about but an not obsessed about. I was just wondering if there was information that was worth the $97.
Thanks
