Was domestic priority boarding mentioned at all?
No. Perhaps they should've done that.
I gave up reading after about 10 of them when I realised there was nothing new. In fact, some are doubled up - faster domestic check in is there at least twice
Going through all the panels and pages they had on the site, I counted up 80 "changes" in all. 2 of those changes are mistakenly numbered with the same "change ID" so to speak, which is why if you count the numbers only you'll get 79.
That said, there are a couple which are double-ups: "Mobile Booking" and "More Flights, More Often".
NGCI has been mentioned as a "change" several times by splitting off the elements which constitute it (Q Bag Tags, Q Card Reader, the system itself).
"On Time Performance" is a lie as was proven by AusBT some time ago when they synthesised the BITRE data (and the stats hold up).
Overall, when I saw 91
changes I thought that was meant to mean 91
new things that Qantas will do. There are hardly any of those in the 80 mentioned on the site. Most of them are changes Qantas has already made and progressively (or even greatly) gazetted over the last few years; only a handful have been gazetted over the last couple of months (possibly through the FF newsletter).
And some of them stand dubiously as "changes". "Safety in the air"? As if to say that Qantas was masquerading an abysmal safety record until now? "Flexibility when you need it"? Hello! Qantas has had Flexi Saver and Fully Flexible fares since the stone age years of CityFlyer - not new and near industry standard! "Relax before you take off"? Qantas has had lounges for ages too - what is new Qantas?
What is NEW???? And can you count - show me 91 of them!!!
To be honest, had the campaign been 91
reasons to fly Qantas, maybe this would've been more respectable (apart from the website errors; and inconsistencies between text, graphics and links). But to call it 91
changes to fly Qantas and there are hardly any there, let alone outright
lies, is beyond deplorable.
You want a cost cutting measure? Invest $2000 in a new industrial strength shredder and save $120,000 a year by getting rid of one idiotic not-worth-the-flesh marketeer. Can't be simpler than that, and damn easier than packing one less water cracker with the cheese on Y meals.
Whoops maybe I should read the text. You're quite right.
