Usual metric for Airline(and most similar) awards is a complicated calculation based on freebies, gifts & backhanders. :p

Even if its just a token number, I believe they'll keep a few CRs ... otherwise the current advertising for CCs wouldn't be able to keep claiming "With our churning signup bonus you can fly to all of these beautiful locations!*" *Flights shown are subject to availability & the terms & conditions...

However, like a casino, QF is the bank ... and if it decides that there's more money to be made from grinders than churners, it can make the call. I doubt the punters will stop showing up.

Certainly not saying they won't, but the problem with releasing another big batch of CR at the introduction of CR+ is that it would draw the obvious comparison ("Boy, the CR+ is a ripoff!") and question ("Why CR+ when I can get CR for a fraction of the cost?"). As far as profitability for QF...

Is/was being debated in parliament. Have Bridget McKenzie and Dean Smith been kicked out of the Chairman's Lounge yet? 😜

QF bookings functionality on the blink again, or is Qantas only broken for me?

I remember discussing inflight refuelling with some up the food chain a long time ago ... quite a variety of reasons why it was a no-go. Not having read this entire thread ("really? it's only several hours worth of reading!"), I don't know if this has been moaned about before but, here are a...

The 1st , perhaps? 🤪

Noooooo! I cannot agree with that! Some things are very simple with Qantas!

Ah... fleet maintenance! Lack of ... is the gift that keeps giving. And before someone asks when would CASA ground the fleet ... Easter, of course! 😈 _______________________________________________________________________ Memory item: CASA bureaucrat headcount in CL above minimums... check...

Plus, on the break up of QF!

I guess no-one is thinking the truly crazy bit is 737 "J" on PER-BNE, then BNE-SYD Y ... rather than direct PER-SYD in (real) J on A330, because this is all some status-saving craziness?

Nah, don't worry ... that's 0K :cool:

He always bleated that he'd never been granted that privilege. About the only thing I believed (lowering the tone, don't you know)

Haven't (and wont) read any "article" at that joke of a site, however, it might be interesting what his take on the illegal baggage-handler episode is, given his only connection to aviation (aside from paid puff pieces) was as a baggage chucker decades ago! Always (self-)billed as "aviation...

Speaking of unicorns ... all the talk of AJ and I forgot the subject of the thread! Like others have said ... grab the unicorn while you can, then deal with the connecting details is usually the best "bird in the hand" policy when it comes to reward bookings.

Joyce was picked in attempt to clone the Ryanair "style". And in his endless rote apeing he never drifted far from the theme, adding very little, if any, of his own creation (aside from the odd rainbow-woke unicorn). I hadn't realised that QF had stopped the old "Your trip will be in..." con...
