    No QFF SCs on BNE-CHC?? (130 status run target)

    see attached image... I'm trying to do a status run to get WP. I need another 130 SCs. I thought MEL-BNE-CHC in J would work, but I don't get anything for BNE-CHC despite it being a QF flight number. Is this an error? (and I would use pts to get home... CHC-MEL) thanks for your advice, experts!
