I thought the 2700 SC requirement was always on QF flight numbers and nothing else? Meaning that JQ has never counted toward the 2700.
You might be getting the 4 ~ segment requirement mixed up..

Interesting, I've just had a look and you're right that the 2,700 states that is has to be a qantas marketed flight and 'Qantas marketed flights are flights with a Qantas [QF] flight number on the ticket'.
The 2,700 status boost that I've received so far this year (1,800 plus 900 for Apr - Aug) have counted towards the QF requirement so now I only have to earn 900 more somehow....
@nutwood thanks for the response however my post was more directed at @travellerqff who made the statement that “platinum one team doesn’t exist anymore”. In re-reading my post I see it may have been misinterpreted. I was pretty confident that SST was still in existence as they seemed to assist in getting some refunds processed after waiting the 10 weeks and still no refund in sight.
So what give you the impression this is the case? curious.

If domestic and international borders don't open anytime soon (say within the next one year), QF will be no more and AJ might have to retrench himselfSad and disappointing But if AJ is willing to retrench thousands including the International CEO (which sends a very strong signal - no one is immune), I'm not surprised when the SST and any other drawcards to P1 are canned.
Unless restrictions come off in the next few months, I don't think there will be any P1s come 2022. I think the cutoff will be 1 March 2022 (as some existing P1s had the comp until end of Feb 2022).I'm curious to know if anyone here has a plan that will see them being P1 in the future?
I was musing on this as my year re-commences at the end of this month. I'm fairly sure that my target is only 1800 SC's, which, even with only domestic travel, I could manage quite readily. The problem for me though is not lack of travel, it's lack of flights.
A recent trip had me visiting Adelaide, Wagga, Sydney and Balina. Pre-Covid this would have been Lst-Mel-Adl-Mel-Cbr-Syd-Ool-Syd-Mel-Lst. Nine legs, all booked Flex and 180 SC's. Depending on the timing, it could have been 360 SC's. In this new Covid reality, I took two Jetstar flights and drove the rest. Even with Max bundles; 40 SC's (and nearly 4000 kms driving!). There was no other way to do it. I like the reduced costs, hate the increased risks, but there's little choice.
Is there anyone, apart from possibly politicians, who is going to be able to find sufficient flying to get over the line?

They will want their regulars to have a reason to return . If they let the incentives go people might look elsewhere. Though having said that such domestic isn't going to have much choice..or Qantas extend the status support program, which seems likely. Once borders start to reopen Qantas will rely heavily on well heeled corporate flyers and road warriors to help them recover. Letting their status lapse seems illogical.
It looks like the P1 SST has been either partially or fully let go. That said, this has been somewhat on the cards even pre-covid as there had been talk of the role being consolidated into the HBA call centre.
Qantas says that the change is due to "feedback from members".
Any particular thoughts?I reckon that QF will take the opportunity to 'review and enhance' CL membership during the stand down.
It's standard for Band 3s but I didn't think band 2s. They should all go. I can't see VA continuing to try and match perks for such folk so you'd think QF will be pretty safe doing a decent cull (and not just public servants).APS SES B2 and Military 2* could probably be excluded to begin with.
