Quick Definition: Metal

[anat0l]

As in "QF metal" or "The AA challenge in 2007 is only based on flights flown on AA metal".

What does metal mean?

I don't think this is in the abbreviations and terms thread.

What does metal mean?

Metal in this case means the carriers' own aircraft, not a codeshare flight on another airlines' aircraft. So when it refers to 'QF metal' it means a Qantas aircraft.

Cool, thanks!

Now I see why (unless you are a frequent flyer within LOTFAP) the AA challenge is just a touch harder to complete.

However the use of metal in regards to the challenge is incorrect, the requirement is that the flights have AA flight numbers

I suppose we will have to change the terminology when the 787 is delivered. We will have to refer to them as QF Plastic or QF Composite

Hehehe yes yes very funny !

The A330's have a fair amount of composite as well. (Not nearly as much as the newer 787 etc)

Nahh, a little too boring and easily understood by the lay folks. We will need to find a good acronym to be quoted along with the secret FF handshake .

Maybe we could use the metal to indicate the type of Carrier ...

There's a secret FF handshake?

Cannot do that as that will throw more threads about "Is operated by Australian Airlines, Jetconnect, National Jet, Eastern, Sunstate etc valid for....?"
