AFR's Joe Aston goes BAM!

Another great article by Joe, albeit focussing on a very niche aspect of flying with Qantas which many of us can relate to. Either way, I love his decadent style of prose.

Never shy of an acerbic jab or two, I love his QFF conclusions - “Qantas management has plainly calculated it can peddle an inferior product in a highly competitive market without consequence, thanks to the heroi_-like properties of its frequent flyer program.”

I guess that makes me a long term engaged participant in my local methadone clinic with all the other Frequent Flyer Programs out there.
