As P1 have NOT received it - maybe that is another unwritten benefit of this super-level?

Looks to me like the typical piece of corporate wankspeak.

More designed for his superiors than anyone else.

"Look at me Boss - Look how much I BELIEVE in our corporate catchphrases and meaningless slogans"


Any of us who've worked in big business of any type have seen plenty of the blustering tripe cross our paths, and instadeleted it lest we vomit on our keyboard if we take it seriously.

It's all a part of prostituting your personal integrity at that level of seniority.

Same. One of the better benefits considering I haven’t received an upgrade this year.

Maybe its those who registered with Qantas for extra FF points using their ABN who were attached to mailing list?

P1 and didn't get it.

Frankly though reading the wording it seems clearly directed at customers - specifically Govt, Corporate.SME's etc.

And you know what QF can't win with some people IMHO.

I mean some people complain QF don't try to reach out and connect with their customers and all the usual complaints (many of which I agree with btw) now this effort, which, while kind of lame and very much sales spiel, at least is an effort.

i think the message they are trying to get across is that this guy has been with QF for a very long time, so has a lot of experience and I suppose it's supposed to make is feel more vlaued somehow because uber QF company man Igor has our backs.

Is it self serving? Yep, but if intended for customers it doesn't achieve too much in that regard.

I think it's the email equivalent of a bit of networking at an industy event or customer gathering.. pure and simple. Hey it's Igor and I've been with QF for ages and we've got all this exciting stuff going on and I'm excited about it and wanted to tell you (even though you already know about the dreamliner and all the rest).

It's fluff, but it's harmless.. and the implication is that for those corporate/Govt clients with issues well hey he's the guy to go to....

IMHO
