I am unable to attend this event, but I do have a question that is both simple but perhaps not fair and would be grateful if someone might raise it on my behalf.*
Whilst understanding there may be commercial confidentiality, or at the very least a desire to retain some information “in-house” and notwithstanding the desire to afford some protection of external and internal business units I would very much welcome an answer to the question, I intend to put to you in both fair and simplified terms, although not necessarily directly, even though some may believe it is, on a subject I consider most important for frequent flyers, including those who only by discount economy fares, those that may only travel twice to Europe in the Business or First cabin of one of your wonderful Airbus A380 aircraft, those that have used MASA’s to gain status, and those that have flown around the US on inexpensive First Class fares to gain status, and that subject, if you will permit me to raise it in the environment of this frequent flyer community, even though I don’t actually believe the term frequent flyers has been fully defined, although one could argue Qantas has defined the term frequent flyer in the Qantas Frequent Flyer programme, is the introduction of new earning tables that I personally, and I suspect many members here and on other sites, believe is certainly not simplified and possibly not fairer, so why was the aforementioned table introduced as simpler and fairer?
*If raised before 12:30 PM this question is subject to the TonyHancock pre 12:30 PM terms and conditions which have not been prepared properly yet and may or may not be updated in this post in time. If raised after 12:30 PM the question is subject to the TonyHancock after 12:30 PM terms and conditions which Griselda Pugh hasn't even started to put together yet. In the highly unlikely event that this question can be started and finished between 12:30.00 PM and 12:30:59 PM the mighty Skybed alone knows the terms and conditions.
