MEL CL closed for renovations

[bass_ke]

In the Mel j lounge now. First time since the CL closure. Feels a little off putting seeing APS SES here.

SES get CL? Crazy times!

Should clarify I meant top SES. Secretary level.

Australian Public Service, State Emergency Services?
I have no idea what that means or who you saw...

Meh who cares, boring public servants. Abbott will probably fire them soon anyway

Let's hear about someone more exciting!

APS : Australian Protective Services (they protect the pollies etc.)
SES : Senior Executive Service (a job title / designation for senior public servants)

Interesting VA have made a small private area for The Club members near the entrance of their lounge in MEL during the renovations, surprised QF haven't done something similar for CLs in their J lounge.

Given the number of politicians, higher level civil servants and "celebrities" who have CL status I do wonder if the existence of a separate lounge is there for the protection of other travelers. The current renovations have certainly highlighted the need to avoid the J lounge. If QF were to let these "types" wander freely with other pax, as the renovations are currently forcing them to do, is there a danger of mass exodus to VA? I have scaled back my QF travel during this period and VA is definitely seeing more from me.

My favourite leather sofa from the TV area of the J lounge was removed a few weeks ago. Mrs 340 quizzed one of the staff about it and received a rather cryptic response that it was removed due to the CL renovation

being used for a rest bench for the people doing the reno.

I was thinking helmets and hi-viz for the SES mob. .

Although why any public servant should have access to CL is a mystery.

Now open with new food offerings:

Yet another case of 'fiddling while Rome burns'. Wake up Australia :!:

Meanwhile we'll still enjoy our 'slop' in the J lounge. :-|

So is the CL closing for the Xmas break like the J lounge?

If not surely P1s should be allowed to use the CL rather than slum it in the QP. (Gratuitous self interest here.)

I'm sorry slop service has been suspended until January....... So enjoy the subslop

The CL lounge is now open for business.
The J lounge is now closed for business.

So seeing they came into my lounge for the last few months I should have reciprocal rights. Yes?

I wouldn't normally post pictures of the Chairmans Lounge if it's good enough for Australian Business Traveller, it's certainly good enough for AFF.

Gee, for so little food you spend a lot of time in the bathroom!!

(Thanks for sharing ... I did wonder what all the fuss was about during the crowded J times!!)

I like the coloured glass wall/partition. Funky.
