Never mind that typical DDMS readers can't figure out how to search for an award on United.com and won't be touching QF with a 10 foot pole after that post.
+1. After reading the post it's enough to scare everyone away.

Good grief. You joined 2 years ago and you're already bossing me around?
Even had someone told me in confidence, I still would have posted it once it hit the big blogs.
I honestly did not mean for it to come out that way, its just that you reiterated numerous times the fact that you weren't told in confidence. As i have told you, I trust your better judgment.

Again, I understand I am in no position to argue with you here, nor tell you what to do. But I have been around for a long time before I joined DDF, and IMHO (as well quite a few others) this post was a mistake.

It's bad enough that other bloggers have gotten the scoop for many things that were on DDF that I left quiet.

But it's a new low to ask that I not write about something that's been featured multiple times on the largest read miles blog outside of TPG as well as on DDF and DDMS comments. Especially something that's this difficult for typical users to take advantage of.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Well the justification is simple.
Lucky didnt actually do the research, as is evident by his post. Thereby most people that tried it and weren't successful figured it was just a fluke.
In addition, its only a fraction of his viewership that care about this, as opposed to DDMS.

Now you'll have all the QF lines getting bombarded with calls trying to book this, and all it takes is one internal memo to shut this all down. (being as they are really not supposed to book it)

Reports of QF agents telling people that ElAl pulled the F inventory from them on October 6.

Yup. We all knew it was only a matter of time.. (I don't think anyone has a doubt the DDMS post had something to do with this..)

What is the connection between posting about an obscure way to redeem NA awards to pulling F on all routes?

If you told me that NA is no longer ticketing, fine.
But why should they pull F systemwide because of that post?

Because it gives people here a reason to bite the hand that feeds them...

You are different - you get fed by fork.

Many hands may feed you, I'll leave that to you to figure out.
