I feel for people that were within a few SC of attaining a higher tier but its complicated for QANTAS. If they gave all those the benefit of the doubt and grant them the status bump, wouldn't they equally be entitled to drop the status of those punters with an Apr-Jul anniversary that were...

We all appreciate it's frustrating when you can't access somthing, especially when overseas, but at some stage you've obviously set up some security questions and it's hardly QF's fault if you can't remember the answers, or if you're not able to turn on your phone (with data turned off) to read...

Just to add to Forg's insider perspective, I also work in the weighing industry and as per above, certainly all "official" airport scales in any modern economy, are supposed to be NMI (or equiv Gov. body) approved as Legal For Trade scales because a financial transaction is potentially levied...

I told myself so LOL! (OK, so I was a week late). I guess the VA DSC is probably more about diverting all the negative press though.

I choose row 2 over row 1 any day on AU domestic short haul. More leg stetch under the seat in front and don't have to get up and grab my PC/bag. As P1 (or CL), we do tend to get auto-allocated row 1 more often than not, I make a point of checking onlie and moving to row 2.

yup.... seems very, very targeted. I chat to and work with a lot of FF, most of which are not active on forums and none of them, nor their network reported getting the email. I guess the algoritm is anyones guess? I'm only 2 months into my 6th P1 year and this would be the longest period in...

Sim ride today at Mascot - took my dad (he's mid 70's) and he was like a kid in toy shop. (bit embarrassing that I flew up on VA) Such a great experience made even better by the attentive style of our host (Ashley Bayer) and the most awesome of senior sim drivers... "Captain Bob" Small...

Great to see the ever luverly P1 team help pass those long days in Canberra with some web time on this very forum. This is a screen shot of a screen shot in an email from one of the kind & attentive P1 possie... (in case its too lores to make out - thats the AFFF link in her favorites bar :) )

Not a problem... while everyone down the back are washing down sleeping pills with their scotch and coke, the lone pilot (aka computer operator) up the front is smashing the speed & cocaine to make sure he can successfully negotiate an early morning landing at traffic-dense LAX - its just a big...

This has been an interesting couple of days digesting all these changes and the plethora of comment/opinion. First up though, fair play to RedRoo for throwing him(her)self to the sword and giving the AFF community the heads up. I guess the only constant in life is change, and when we've had it...

Does this mean that even if I bailed on QF completely from when my qualifying clock starts ticking again in Aug 2015, that at worse I'd get a soft drop back to WP for the following year? I hit WP1 back in Nov 2013 just a third of the way into my QF year, effectively giving me 20 months of WP1...

Not a chance in hell! I already know I'm flying too much - the dog went to bite me when I got home yesterday :)

hehe... doubt it very much! I have no expectation of maintaining it but hey, I'll enjoy it until Sep 2015 when it will revert back to WP :( My main objective with flogging the double SC period was to clock over the LTG mark before QF inevitably say goodbye to the much loved JASA's. And as...

OK... so today I flew a sector that tips me over that elusive P1 qualification line :cool: I've racked up a tidy 3645 SC in just over 100 days - needless to say, been a fairly busy time! I made good use of the double SC promo with 1400 of those SC coming from that (thx QF!) So what happens...

I'd have to add it all up but I reckon in the order of 350K? Main contribution was from: 3 x MEL/HBA to CNS @ 72K ea a few 32K point return domestic JASA's Had a JQ "J" class CNS-NRT (normal paid fare) LAN SYD-AKL-SYD in J (paid) MEL-LAX-MEL in the cheap seats (paid) 4 USA domestic sectors with...

Thanks to the informative knowledge of the "AFFF Massive" I learned a few years back all about using JASA's and pretty swiftly jumped up to WP status from Gold where i'd been flogging away for years. With my QFF anniversary 1st Sep, last couple of years I managed to get my WP retention sorted...

Re: Sucessful ASA Bookings booked at classic rates Reference Guide Nov 13 | J (U) | HBA-(SYD)-(BNE)-CNS-(BNE)-(MEL)-HBA | 72,000 | $594 | $7 c'card fee| 320SC (doubled to 640 due to SC promo :cool: ) (sorry - dont know the classic award co-payment as I don't currently have enough points to...

re: Has anyone had success with the call-up method for "Marginal" xASA's? Another couple of wins in the last week... Had some JASA's that I booked earlier this year for travel Sep/Oct - a MEL-CNS return and a SYD-MEL 1 way. Cancelled them both for full points/$$ refund and re-booked the same...

Re: First Ever Status Run !! Had a win :) Noticed a "double SC promo" email in my inbox today and initially thought "DAMN" as already made most my bookings for the qualifying period up to Nov 30th inc a nice MEL-CNS return JASA back in the good ol days when you could route via BNE or SYD for...

re: Has anyone had success with the call-up method for "Marginal" xASA's? After some hassles trying to speak to QF CS people re booking ASA's, I had a win last week - albeit not for me but for a mate of mine who I introduced to the whole ASA scheme a year or so back. He had used JASA's under...
