I will retain WP, but it will cost me a bit more to do it (paying extra on JQ / QF fares for self-funded travel, for example). Most of my work flights are disc economy between east coast and Perth, so the distance means SC are pretty much the same, but inter-east coast capital city flights are not as good for me.
(Incidentally, not sure how generous QF will be with comp status in coming years... I requalified WP by 20SC on the last day of my QFF year this year, but there was a hiccup in the system that meant the points didn't hit my account in normal timeframe. A few days later and flight #1 of QFF 2014/15 and I had been bumped down to SG, despite RETAINING WP last year although I had fallen significantly further short of my re-qual points target. Not re-qualifying WP when 20SC short is a lot harsher than the Qantas of 2013!)
