I'm P1 and when I flew Cathay 2 months ago (HK to Shanghai), the FA greeted me and recognised my P1.
Hopefully this is the same with EK/
I flew on CX to LHR in J two weeks ago and was treated very nicely as a OWE (it might be said better than when I travelled as a P1 on QF9 to LHR in J in Oct). It is my understanding however that other OW airlines cannot differentiate between WP and P1. Even the P1 section of the QF website appears to say you will be just a OWE.
The big issue with EK and P1 is being PER based, I am effectively being 'forced' to fly on the EK codeshares if I want to fly on QF from Europe.
I am now off to the airport to fly back to PER so all will be revealed soon anyway.
This is QF being QF.. consistently inconsistent!
I echo others comments regarding their experience on CX being OWE. In fact I have been treated very well on both BA as well as CX, even better than QF.

The challenge for QF is how to ratify this. They have failed to do this for so many years. Now, more than ever, there are competitions. Not just CX (which is best) and old OW allies (BA and AA) but now QR, EK and MH are providing similar routing and competing for the OWE. The fact that QFi doesn't fly out of WA and SA (except for one flight to SIN), it is essentially handing the QF FF to the other OW carriers.
Except that many QF FFers obtain their status via domestic flights.
Certainly the acronym PCV came into use at QF at the time the Altea implementation and is used for automated seating allocation as well as being available for other tasks such as "operational" upgrading.Perceived Customer Value as a label, I find, is less descriptive of what is being measured - and such labels vary in name from airline to airline. But agreed I used a generic term instead of a Qantas specific term - apologies if that confused anyone (you seemed to understand it, I imagine most would). Economic as a word refers to more than just $$$ involved from the pax, and includes such difficult to quantify components such as organisational influence (i.e. Travel contract managers, etc), community standing (goodwill transfer etc), and other important influencers. ...

The questions then become:
- How does QF treat other oneworld elites?
Given most members don't receive many upgrades - there is virtually no benefit of being a QF Plat over any other oneworld Emerald. Which is a shame...
True. My point was it might be difficult for other Oneworld carriers to steal some QF elites as their status was earned domestically rather than internationally.
It would be very easy for other oneworld carriers to 'steal' elites. Obviously not going to say how on here... but if anyone reading this is from CX, AA or MH... shoot me a PM ;-)

But would they be able to maintain their status if they shifted?
I think the member did .. with their most recent post ... (AY, QR, BA, JL ... even US!)...
All I'm hearing is "I'm not going to say anything on here"
Have any plat ones noticed in J previously having a blocked seat on EF next to yourself, and maybe your seat getting pre allocated at T-80? But now neither of that happens.... My last 4 J flights havent done that when the last 1.5 years it worked a treat everytime.
Not too worried i guess but you could always tell where a CL or WP1 was sitting in J.
