given all airlines, including qantas, say they are expert in predicting passenger loads (at least they tell us that when it comes to calculating overbooking)... why can't they also publish the chance we will have of being successful for an international upgrade?
it is a double whammy for us ordinary qantas members who not only have to pay a higher fare just for the opportunity to be included on the upgrade list, but can then also be moved down that list at any time by someone with higher status.
Does qantas have the information regarding upgrade success available? And if so, should they not tell us before we fork out extra cash whether we have a fighting chance or not of being successful?
should they be allowed to stand by and take extra money for a higher fare class which they know we will never be able to convert?
