The ultimate status run passenger

[Quickstatus]

82-year-old John Martin has clocked up three million miles in the air with Qantas | News.com.au

Saw that. Though he doesn't seem to actually be chasing status.

Is this JohnM here on AFF?

 

[samh004]

That's pretty awesome!

Hope QF presents me with some symbolic keys one day

I'm on 283 Qantas flights right now, so a little short but looking good I hope!

What a nice story. Good luck John!

PS....I wonder if the keys work. If you see that 737 trundling down a motorway somewhere I'd be guessing, yes!

I think JohnM is a Doctor (as in medicine).

I guess Personal status of 1000 QF flier

I wonder if QF will recognise that and in what way. His idea of A380 doing a loop the loop?

 

[samh004]

1000 (soon to be) flights by the lowest amount of SC of 10 (yes he started before status credits, but not all his flights would earn so low either) gives a total of at least 10,000 lifetime SC... so he's probably LTG by now too. I note the article says he goes to the lounge, but didn't say whether he paid for it or earned it

Impressive number of flight to NYC and LON.... Great way to see out your end of days.

IMO One of the potential benefits of the J lounge on the A380 is that if you die you may be laid out there. In not sure if that's a J "benefit" or available to all upstairs pax. F will remain In their expensive seats.

The problem with sitting a newly dead corpse in Y is that rigor Mortis will set in and it will be difficult to remove a Y corpse until rigor Mortis subsides.

Boy I hope John is not reading these posts......you lot have him dead and buried already. I read his comments to mean death is a long way from his thinking and at 82 he hopefully has many, many more years left yet.

I hope so too but if he does what a way to go. but as he says hopefully after 1000 flights and a ride on VH-OQA, *and a comp to CL


Smart guy - he's prob hoping for a F upgrade to the VH-OQA

* my suggestion to QF

Great story! Good on him.

Nice story and very nice of Qantas to recognise his loyalty.

No, he's not a Dr of medicine, lovely chap and definitely not John Martin, nowhere near as old

the real doctors are those with a doctorate like a PhD.

you local G{/specialist is really only a pretend doctor as usually s/he only has a bachelor's degree.

Odd post....

Yes, very odd and quite incorrect.
