    David Jones: AMEX to Latitude

    They said because it is a David Jones AMEX Platinum QANTAS and said they can't transfer it to anything but a QANTAS Discovery which is useless since I have a QANTAS American Express Ultimate Card. They refused to put me through to an Australian Representative. I just ended up cancelling both my...

    David Jones: AMEX to Latitude

    https://www.davidjones.com/faq/david-jones-american-express-card I rang AMEX and said that I would like to change it to an AMEX Velocity Platinum and they said no, I have to apply for a new card, which I did last December and never heard back. So I will most likely be cancelling my AMEX...

    Qantas price match?

    If enough people complain to state consumer affairs and the ACCC, maybe the ACCC will take more action!

    Downgraded from Business Class on Qantas due to "tech crew" [pilot] Travel Requirements

    No I wouldn't. As said before, I think a full refund for the fare is in order plus some additional compensation based on the flight duration.

    Downgraded from Business Class on Qantas due to "tech crew" [pilot] Travel Requirements

    I never said QANTAS should be able to do what it does. In a previous post, I said the conditions of carriage weren't great and that better compensation should be provided. But if people are going to say that the Conditions of Carriage supersede the EBA, when they don't, then I'm going to...

    Downgraded from Business Class on Qantas due to "tech crew" [pilot] Travel Requirements

    I didn't say it wasn't the traveler's discretion. The purpose of my post it to say that the EBA is enforced by Federal Law. The Language of the Conditions of Carriage allow QANTAS flexibility that QANTAS don't have under a EBA or the Fair Work Act. The EBA supersedes the conditions of carriage...

    Downgraded from Business Class on Qantas due to "tech crew" [pilot] Travel Requirements

    It's a publicly available document on the Fair Work Commission Website. No, it's the law that says if QANTAS agrees to provide a J Seat to their employees, they have to follow through with it. Section 50 of the Fair Work Act (2009). Section 4.7 of QF's contract of carriage says they can...

    Downgraded from Business Class on Qantas due to "tech crew" [pilot] Travel Requirements

    Doesn't matter, the law is QANTAS has to provide the J Class seat to the pilot. QANTAS having agreed to that, should be refunding the full ticket knowing that they legally have to bump passangers to fulfil their obligations. And they should definitely be respectful in they way they bump people.

    Downgraded from Business Class on Qantas due to "tech crew" [pilot] Travel Requirements

    Probably not, someone called up a radio station this morning (I think 3AW Rumour File) to share their experiance and it just took off from there so just coincidence that this thread was around. Yes the Pun was intended. No I will not apologise for it.
