Congrats. I am LTG and currently WP with no chance of keeping it this year because I have stopped flying for family reasons. A lucky colleague has taken over so should be climbing the ladder. My LTG is my Golden Parachute so still will be able to access lounges though business lounges and F lounges will be out. EK lounge in SYD INT will be my go-to place, even if it means a long walk there and back.

Yes, it’s a good back stop, I’m in my last year of WP I think, sick of transiting Sydney, going to try SG on for size 5 daily departures and day time returns to Melbourne is very attractive.

Wow…that’s a pretty good SC/flight ratio. I think I took over 780 flights.

It came in the congratulatory email from QF

85% self funded leisure travel. And those work trips were for overseas suppliers in SEA and a few local conferences

My congratulatory email says 172 flights and 474,537 kilometres.
But they only count eligible flights.
I assume this has the same meaning as in the requirement for the number of eligible flights required to retain status, and the requirements for P1 status. That is QF or JQ marketed flights.
My total number of flights is 461.
Some of them must be Oneworld flights for which I earned status credits, but which were not eligible flights.
All Oneworld flights from my Flighty stats:
QF: 200
MH: 26
CX: 22
EK: 11 (most would have been QF codeshares)
IB: 10
BA: 7
AY: 5
LA: 4 (before it left Oneworld)
QR: 4

Astute observers may note that one airline is conspicuously absent.

Doesn't Qantas send you a yearly review with the stats? Me?
46 flights, 28 in Australia, 18 international, 79,881 km

I wonder if I write to Qantas they will provide this. When I qualified in 2019 they sent a fairly basic email with no data or stats

Same for me a year ago

In 2015 it was just a letter (no specifics). Not even a LTG card as I was WP at the time (and have been since).

In 2008 it was just a letter. I was WP at the time and remained so until recently.
