The correct response for obtaining any sort of LT Qantas status is to fly any and all airlines BUT Qantas judging by some of the people on this forum.

Can't open a recent vintage if they never allocate you any. ;^)

This is an honestly braindead take that reinforces why there is a significant increase in antisocial behaviour.

Looks pretty tight across the shoulders.

As requested by DC3: Anyone else run into Albo in the Exec Lounge at Perth Parmelia recently?

Goading people into flying a different carrier isn't a smart move when you're not even the 3rd best international airline in the country.

I thought as much, perhaps I'm looking too early also.

Are people seeing significant knockbacks even with ≥9 I class fares available? Had no luck this week at all despite giving 7 day ranges for departure & return and multiple destination options. Looking at BNE to CDG/LHR in Jan / Feb next year.

Part of the problem is the lack of a direct connection between taxation collected and the "service" it's being used to fund. The free riders/free loaders problem is real and something needs to be done to ensure the user pays. They should strike the excise completely and just make it based on km...

Can't fill the hold up too much, Qantas will be selling seats down there by 2030.

Can't it be both?

Nope, only Qantas in the last few years. Are the people that fly on those airlines not total morons incapable of handling their baggage efficiently or something? Rude, or accurate?

The difficulty is that a large percentage of passengers are braindead idiots who are incapable or uninterested in following basic rules. It should honestly be 1 item only, I'd even support removing all carry-on that won't fit under your seat.

Forget about long haul Y, who's going to actively decide to fly Qantas Int. J when not incentivized to do so? They aren't even the 3rd best option flying in and out of Australia and are generally the most expensive.

Maybe we will find out just how sticky people are through all of this :)

Domestically that may be true, but internationally? Good luck.

Or are they sticky because of the current arrangements?

Not sure how similar BA and QF are honestly, outside of being "National Carriers". Markets, geography and destinations are all vastly different. I think people forget how unique Qantas' circumstances are sometimes.

I think I have made this point before but something to consider would be the impact on the international business as a byproduct of changes to domestic passenger behaviours. Qantas has a relatively weak product in the international space and I imagine QFF loyalty helps them significantly here...
