Give him what every other employee gets - after 30 years service all you get is a letter confirming 30- years service and that you left voluntarily. In my case they couldn't even type my name straight it's at quite a nice angle across the line it's supposed to be on!

Not only Airbus our 787 ex LAX was delayed overnight due refrigeration problem

Yes I agree yield management at work but it is not having the desired effect. If flights in January are not full something is not working. People are obviously either not paying the ridiculous amounts being asked and not travelling or booking alternatives such as All Nippon Cathay and Singapore...

There is also a certain amount of what could be called price gouging or should we say a desire to maximize revenue on the part of airlines especially in January. On routes to USA and Japan QF is only offering top tier booking classes ie J W Y and if lucky a B class yet these flights are terribly...

Annoyed maybe Pissed off maybe Anger I don't think so. I thought my comments here were tempered and constructive and to be honest didn't expect to be lectured for having the hide to question the upgrade process of the airline. I can assure you with over 47 years industry experience including...

Yes chalk it up to experience as stuff does happen - goodness sounds like QF talking 'that's the way it is'. In this instance there is absolutely no benefit being granted an upgrade prior to the departure gate. If QF cannot confirm the higher class requested then they should not confirm...

Correct Y ticket purchased and request for J class upgrade actioned. As J was not available at 20 hours prior to departure PE was confirmed - once this was actioned the request for J is nullified. J seats became available and were then given to pax with lower status and in this instance at...

This happened today and as I had not seen any comment before - and quite possibly there has been and I have missed - just wondering what everyone's take on it is. P1 received upgrade to PE at -20 hours JC at that time showing full. At -10 hours seats in J/C became available. As connecting from...

They have set arrival of QF18 to 1947 which if it stays at that should help QF17 get away around 2200

LAX arrival

Unsure what hotels or meals have been provided as advice of delay was received prior to airport arrival so own arrangements found. $200 reimbursement has been offered. Not that it will cover expense but Insurance claim could. No doubt those at airport would be accommodated and some meal costs...

Some of the 18 pax were transferred to 12 but most are still in LAX
