I have been on the AFF for some time and have managed to get a number of helpful hints and advice that has either saved me money, time or a bad experience so I will long continue. Saying that however, I rarely post as at times I feel very intimidated with all the abreviations, high handiness and seriousness of some of the more experienced AFFers'' who post about their 2 million SC points and how the cavier at xyz lounge was ghastly especially with all the riff raff dressed in a Van Heuson suit instead of their Zenga. I am just a small PAYE employee who pays for his own flights, economy of course, and QC. Other than my company paying for my QC nomination fee 8 or 9 years, everything comes out of my back pocket but I have close to a million FF points, enjoy dropping into a QC lounge in my jeans and tee shirt. I will always read AFF as I stated previously, the advice is invaluable but this is usually from the newer members who still have a sense of humour against those members who have to tell us about their horrid experience in Qantas first class when the wine on offer was 1982 Penfold Chardonny which everyone knows was a bad year.
I now I am going to cop it but what the heck, I still like AFF
