[Butch Cassidy Slept Here]

I won't deny the idea of silencing all the airline stooges on here is very appealing. However, to do so would make us no better than the stereotypical American Air "Sky Nazi" (flight attendant.) Besides there are moments--granted, few and far between--when the airline people offer-up genuinely helpful information. The recent commentary about the customer who couldn't get a wheel chair from Delta Air is a good example.

Eliminating the "Airline Sympathizer" label, and simply assigning "Airline Employee" to all those who's posts tend to, overwhelmingly, favor the airlines over the customer, would be a good step toward clarity, or, calling a spade a spade. I, and I doubt anyone else, has the time to troll every chat board ever created to try to determine who, on here, is telling the truth, or lying, about their airline affiliation.

If it makes the airline people feel any better, I would have no problem "wearing" the label "Airline Consumer Advocate," or something along that line.
