It is with much regret that I now inform you that Dave Noble has decided to stand down as a moderator on AFF.

Dave was part of the original Moderator Team (comprising of Lindsay Wilson, NM and Dave) formed back in 2006, and for over 4 years has made an enormous contribution to AFF. Dave's extensive knowledge of all things airlines - in particular AA and oneworld alliance subtleties - left all of in awe!

Dave - from myself, the moderator team, and the whole AFF community, thank you for your contribution as moderator over the last 4 years. Your powerful presence on our Moderator Team will be sorely missed. I look forward to your continued active participation in our forums.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to welcome straitman to our Moderator Team. Straitman would be well-known to you all: he joined AFF back in April 2003, has well over 7,000 posts under his belt, frequently participates in AFF social functions, is a professional pilot, and most importantly is an active and well respected member of AFF. Congratulations Bill, and welcome to the team!
