Travelling back home from Melbourne on a delayed (late and mechanical) 738, it was nice to see an off-duty flight attendant assisting her colleagues to seat, find overhead bin space (an impossibility in these days of lost bags) and showing a couple travelling with a baby how to set up the extra...

OK, I can live with the new interpretation. I suspect I might have to stump up my $50 when my own membership expires as it is my partner, not me, who is one of the 'founding 11' :) Doug

I'm wondering how this program got to be hijacked by the Gold subscribers - none of their money was used to set it up was it? I would prefer that it remain as an 'all memebers' benefit Doug
