Well, after almost three months of not touching QF, I just received an email from the P1 team. I wont cut and paste the actual words, as I respect privacy, even in emails from a company. But essentially it said that they had noticed my absence and were wondering if everything was ok. Not a bad email - even though it did not feel personal, the content was not demanding or silly.
I am not one who happily ignores something, so pondering if/what to reply. My feelings about QF are very complicated at the moment

This may have been answered already. Does anyone know of P1s receiving a soft landing down to WP after not having attained even WP the next membership year?
<snip>....On the inbound journey in Singapore they did lay on the full service, First Host met me at the aircraft door, escort to lounge, arranged shower then escorted to reserved seating, then escorted back to the aircraft including thru security & boarding gate.... </snip>
Or do you mean as a P1 this is the expected additional service?
That was not our experience just recently, she only dropped to Gold.However be prepared that if you gave Platinum to your partner and they dont earn Plat or Gold or silver in there own right then they will drop right back to Bronze.
Yeah agree didn't need the chit chat, but being met at the AC door was nice, more important was being escorted within the lounge, showers etc, and back through the security & boarding gate scrums. Maybe for P1 in F (& CL), they could put us on a cart or 2 similar to what they use for less mobile passengers, and give us a ride between the AC, the lounge and back to the AC....gate c25 is quite a distance from the lounge.As a P1 travelling F I wouldn't be interested in this level of service .... I'm more interested/focused on the service delivered at the lounge entrance and aircraft door. IMO Qantas need to focus on these things rather than useless chitchat on long walks.
gate c25 is quite a distance from the lounge.
Welcome to AFF and the rather underwhelming P1 Club!Long time reader, first time posting and newly minted P1 member.
Thanks for the all past comments on this thread, it has given me a extra snapshot into some tips and tricks.
After 2 months, I'm yet to receive any event invites, or experience an opt up, and I don't seem to ever have a shadow but I can say that I really enjoy having the SST to contact (via email especially) and the ability to fly forward. Most of my travel is domestic, so for me these two elements are the most rewarding. I've been WP for 5yrs+ and 90% of the time always got row 4 by seat selecting T-80, it is nice however to have this seat locked in upon booking now. Looking forward to testing out the upgrade request success on the some upcoming Asia travel too Any other tips and tricks from other P1 members is greatly appreciated?
I just received the "we haven't seen you in a while" email. Yes, that's right. I've retired, and stopped flying regularly. No more frequent QF F returns from to LHR and LAX for me. The only thing crediting to QF are some minor credit card points still accruing on my AU credit cards. I earned enough SC to reach WP in my own right for 2020, but after that it will be back to LTG for me.
I'm still getting P1 service though - I was able to get F award seats released on SYD-LAX-SYD, for which I was very appreciative.
