QF Platinum Recognition on flights

[Beano]

Now imagine, the pax name is harder to read - like mine the CSM takes a good 5seconds trying to pronounce the name, then another 5 seconds trying to sound the name, then only to ask you "how do I pronounce your name Mr. .... " followed by a long pause (and confused look in the eye) as I pronounce my name in its entirety. And they go "I would have never been able to pronounce that" and I go "yea, I get it" - awkward convo that lasts approx 2 minutes and by this time, the CSM is ready to move on to the next pax on the iPad list. #JoysOfFlying

Off course after saying that if you need anything don't hesitate to ask. Make mine a champagne!

Former QF CSM and current FFPL here. Used to recognise FFPL’s then there became so many (30-40 on a MEL-SYD) so moved attention to FFPO’s (5-10, easier to do on a 50min sector).

Welcome to posting and hope you’ll share some more insights - with those numbers of FFPOs per golden triangle flight I’m nowhere near as special as I thought I was!

I was talking to a QF Cabin Manager on a recent international flight - he informed me part of his role was to introduce himself to Gold and Above QF members at the start of the flight. I found this quite surprising as before that flight is not had this experience. It was nice to have the additional, more personal welcome.
