since they are a P1 benefit, a WP never would have had access to that particular benefit....Mine are not listed so I will contact QF and see if they will organise some backdated passes as I've never had access to them while being WP - this will be fun
I am sure I have read in the QF seat release thread that seats are being released and I would be confident that not all are P1's. Seeing occupied seats on EF may not reflect the availability as not everyone selects seats at the time of booking. Also fare bucket and route are important, WP can get seats released from the I bucket, P1s can get seats from D and I bucket. For some of the routes I have looked at there is minimal I availability, heaps of D and other routes/ flights only J or C which are not available for release. Route is also important, there are few that based on my experience the bot always says "no" and this is when manual assessment comes into play. It has been a while since I was WP so not even sure if their requests are manually assessed.An agent today said that the classic reward seat release is just for P1. If that's inaccurate I'd like to know. It's frustrating seeing only about 10 seats occupied, and so many empty seats in Expert Flyer and not getting the seat released.
Sounds like you might have two scenarios mixed up:An agent today said that the classic reward seat release is just for P1. If that's inaccurate I'd like to know. It's frustrating seeing only about 10 seats occupied, and so many empty seats in Expert Flyer and not getting the seat released.

It’s always a nice feeling when they proactively move you forward a few rows… too bad for me it usually happens on a Dash-8 or single class B717On the way to the airport received a notification that the flight was delayed. On arrival at the lounge I was greeted and informed the flight was delayed and not long after entry I was given a new boarding pass, no more row R4 hello R1.
I’ve had a couple of similar experiences on QFLink.Pretty disappointing experience this morning - yes this a bit of a rant and not necessarily a P1 experience or lack thereof but didn't know where else to put it and somewhat relates to the unpublished shadow 'benefit'.
Was travelling on a Dash 8 which was at <50% capacity, yet somehow I was the only person that ended up with a seat mate in row 2. I then asked to move given the plethora of empty seats and was told I could go to row 5 instead of the completely empty row 1….<rant over>
Row 1 is "blocked because of COVID". This has been the case for a while. Probably because there's no barrier between row 1 passengers and seated crew.Pretty disappointing experience this morning - yes this a bit of a rant and not necessarily a P1 experience or lack thereof but didn't know where else to put it and somewhat relates to the unpublished shadow 'benefit'.

Kind of them to think about the crew which from Row 1 to the jump seat is approx. 2m (and partially obstructed if in 1A) vs seating me directly next to someone with our shoulders touching...
The mail merge managed to put in a line about P1, but that was about it that was "personal"
