we believe that the more involved the airline industry is here, the more they will understand consumers, which will eventually lead to greater mutual respect and more effective resolutions

Allowing this site to be flooded with airline "sympathizers," "employees," et al does NOT show any promise of leading to "greater mutual respect and more effective resolutions." More than once posters' complaints have been dismissed, by some in said group, with suggestions that the OP is a liar, or the given situation is his own fault, to give two examples. As I recall one airline "sympathizer" went so far as to suggest that most airline customer complaints are outright lies, or distortions at best. In another instance one poster actually suggested no "pro-consumer" poster had a right to post unless their post was a complaint involving a personal experience. Sadly, there are bullies on this forum and it's time the moderator recogized that.

There clearly should be opposing views on any forum. However, when I checked some time ago, this board is dominated by airline "sympathizers," 2 to 1*. The moderator needs to impose a ban on new "sympathizers," "employees," etc., with new members who are found to be in the latter group being asked to leave.

Chrisal: While your profanity merits some kind of creativity award (effective use of adjectives) it was also offensive to me; apparently to PHX, and perhaps others. Accordingly, such writings are better reserved for another website. Noted your comment about living in Buenos Aires. Glad to hear some of us are able to be warm this time of year.


* 66% of those who REGULARLY post are, based on information on the "members" list, "sympathizers," "employees," or "former employees."
