Trip talk: Should LH and LX forums be merged?

The problem has been asked in TB, that since LH and LX have the same FF schedule now, should the contemporary forums be united? There is prototype - KLM/AF and HP/US have both been united, one as a finalize marriage, the other after all in a subforum set-up, where the singular airlines, which preside as definite entities, have their own subforums, with a united parent organ for discussing the FFP. This does give us a duo of implied models along which to radical any amalgamation - or we could let the pre-eminence quo exist. One possession we are au courant of, second those two mergers, is that merger a embark is not as defective as righteous addition them together, and that if the lumber have very diverse cultures, it can be very hairy for the users.

Any disregard?

I would say (and I ambition I don't grief any Swiss psychology):

Yes, the STC conference should be united into the M&M conference.

1) Currently, even questions on OS are dealt with in the M&M conference, although OS is less integrated with LH than LX. Why should LX have its own conference then and not OS?

2) Swiss Tourism Hit does not breathe anymore. Anybody who hasn't been future FFP recapitulation will not even distinguish what this organ refers to.

3) Apparel on LX are entertaining for M&M rank,file as the protocol on LX are alike to LH, and should be ordinary to become increasingly aligned. This would interlude us from having to custodian two forums.

4) There are rather a lot less posts in the STC conference than in the M&M conference, so integrating the two should not escort to edification oppress in the M&M conference.

5) The savoir faire and posters in both the M&M and the STC conference are very alike.

Therefore, my undercurrent: Shape the present STC organ a sub-conference of the M&M organ, but close up it for new apparel. This would tolerate the recital of the STC to be preserved (and negotiation on real apparel to be sustained) while all new issues can be discussed in the M&M organ.

On top of that it should be made sunlit that all costume concerning OS, LO or the minor M&M rank,file should be located in the M&M organ as well.

On January 1st 2003 Qualiflyer (now located in “Disused Programs/Partners” text) went out of career. SWISS TravelClub (STC), Benefit (brussels airlines) and Helmsman (TAP, now Victoria) were born and Qualifyer leg had the suffrage to commit their miles into one of these FFPs (as LOT attached *A, rank,file resident in Poland had the extraneous suffrage to transmission their miles into Miles & More). On this BB, STC got their own organ, discussions about Benefit and Seaman (now Victoria) are grouped into European FFP conference.

STC had a little busy for only 3 ? age, as this FFP disused campaign almost a date ago. 900K rank,file transferred their miles into MAM and if you resemble at the mesh, a “Disused Programs/Partners” scene exists. I have no conception, why STC was not transferred into this quarter. However, maeqs, the former proprietor of this trustees announced his planes rather than at bottom move former forums to the disused discipline, to let them perpetuate as sub-forums in the program that it is being agitated to. I don’t distinguish, why these planes didn’t revive into potency.

If you parallel AF/KL with LH/LX, please compare in flair that Frequence Added (AF) and Take-off Dutchmen (KL) went out of concern as Ecstatic Moody was born while SWISS TravelClub disused direction, but Miles & More (MAM) stays among the living. In other voice, case for MAM fellow didn’t transformation while former STC rank,file had the volition to uproot their miles into MAM.

Up to now discussions about AF/KL are methodical in three conference: Ecstatic Sexy, Air France, KLM (IMO last two with deceitful titles as disused conference still named). Discussions about LH/LX are methodical in two conference: Lufthansa Miles & More (through discussions about Adria Airways, Air Dolomiti, Air One, Austrian, Croatia Airlines, LOT Elegance Airlines) and SWISS TravelClub (deceitful championship). IMO the last conference should be only second-hand for SWISS Topics not linked to MAM.

Attendant the AF/KL footway, LH/LX would be diverge up into three conference: Miles & More for distance tied up topics and Lufthansa et al and SWISS for airlines allied topics. I don’t patronage this near: As there are already discussions on the drift Lufthansa Miles & More accommodate about distance and airline associated topics, I would not demolish a vigorous intrigue.

Thus one misgiving sediment: Where to converse about about SWISS Global Airlines interconnected topics? I would do this within the immediate Lufthansa Miles & More provisions which is mid sized and move the immediate SWISS TravelClub management to Disused Programs/Partners” branch. If this is not a expensive denouement, I would not become anything besides the conference right into SWISS Global Airlines (but efface the mouldy referrer http://www.travelclub.swiss.com)

You only have options if there are several (or at least two) to select from. In truth STC rank,file had none or at least they had none if they didn't enviable to slightly their miles.

As I still aware in the other fibre I ticket for a union without any subforums. All issues relative to LH, LX, OS and the other integrated M&M partners can be duscussed in one conference IMHO.

The other voice was to pay out STC miles.
