    To me, that's not right and I do feel invaded. I think I'll be more guarded--I don't care for the open access and would prefer a more private atmosphere. I may have to slink back into the shadows.
    I may have to go so far as to "defriend" nonrev.net in the future
    There's perhaps a misunderstanding here. The vast majority of the facebook traffic is airline employees. The only spillover is "friends/family/connections" of airline employees that would have seen the icon and clicked on it.

    We're very targeted with facebook. I'm watching new signups, and thus far, they are all airline connected. You can see this for yourself if you look at some of the fan profiles.

    I voted "How To". Especially if they are loaded with key search engine words. If someone is trying to find an answer about non-reving and this site pops up first & multiple time the searcher will say "That place must have all the info I need". I think the topics you suggested in the "Paid" post are great starts, epically the ZED one. I've heard more co-workers asking about ZED issues than any other travel question.

    I love that idea Mig. I always travel with my biz cards to hand out to people I meet on the way, but especially to other airline employees who help me out. If they are nice to me I make sure I tell them to email me next time they need help with something on my airline. To this end I think the nonrev card is a great idea. Say on your flight you meet an FA who loves to travel and you start talking, you give him/her a card - if they like the site they will tell their friends/other crew and it spreads by word of mouth. You don't really want to be walking around with fliers on the plane! I think the idea as Kerry said is to be targeted - fliers have mass appeal, but the people might not be interested, or you might interest people who come on to ask one qn for their next trip and never come back or never contribute. I know this might be odd, but I have a carry on "kit" - standard stuff I take each time... and business cards is one of them.

    We could get standard cards made at vistaprint quite cheaply, or even in China you can get these things printed for next to nothing.

    I really really love these:
    MiniCards | Design Unique Mini Business Cards Online | moo.com USA and to a lesser extent MOO Business Cards | Unique Custom Business Cards | moo.com USA

    They are interesting, memorable etc, yet more $ than plain cards from vistaprint, at around $0.16/card

    What if we developed an approved image(s) and then if people wanted to they could get these cards themselves? Sure not everyone would want to spend, I probably would though. Just an idea. Or even an approved overlay image, and one could put their own pic of a plane or something on the front with the nonrev.net overlayed.

    I like the idea of getting in with airlines. I interned with someone at WN who is now full time in their pass bureau who looks after their intranet site and also their page in luvlines, she might be interested in getting involved. Issue is it is quite common that airlines have a "useful links" section which isn't that useful as no one ever checks it! A mention in the employee newsletter however...

    For what it's worth, I originally heard of this site through NW's intranet portal, when I was poking around a little bit when I was new (well, I only worked there for 3 months so I was always "new" but relatively speaking)

    I REALLY think in order to gain access to some of the more confidential information, you need to have some way of verifying that someone is actually an interline employee. Sadly, we have to cover our 'assets', especially these days.
