Can we not get too crazy with the extra sub forums? It’s gonna get harder to find topics if we have too many of these. Should we also group wholly owned regionals with the parent major company, or should they stay in the regional section?

I was the person who advocated for sub forums in the regionals. Before that, regionals was a mess, the change has been well received by a vast amount of people.

ATSG might be considered in the same light, since it’s the parent company of airlines that operate in different sectors of the industry.

Like Atlas Air WorldWide Holdings is the parent company of airlines ( Atlas, Southern, Polar) that operate in different sector of the industry.

Omni isn't much of a cargo outfit, but I don't think anyone's advocating for moving the Omni threads to a Cargo/ATSG sub-forum.

I'd be happy with an "Other" sub with any threads that are applicable across the sector left in the main Cargo forum.

Nice work making the extra sub-forums! This is way more organized. Thanks.

Perhaps some empirical break-over point could be used based on the size of the pilot group or number of existing threads for any given carrier.

The Atlas/Southern/Polar thing is different than ATI/ABX sharing an ATSG sub.

The ATSG carriers are independently operated under different certificates, which I understand to be very different from the AAWW carriers, so it really makes more sense for each ATSG carrier to get their own forum.

You can't please everyone, but I see the decluttering of the main Cargo forum that has already been done as a step in the right direction.
