Hmmm. Not that I'll get to enter the CL again but I'm not a fan of the coloured glass. I think it will look dated really quickly.

I tend to agree, like Virgins purple plastic and white mess is already looking worn and dated. But at least the coloured glass is only a minor feature.

Think simplicity and neutral tones work better.
 
I would be happy with the op-ups and not use the lounge.

Much to my surprise CL passengers don't routinely receive op-ups. As recently as this month I flew on a 737 with a CL in Y and as many as four seats empty in J. And it's not the first time I've seen CL down the back when there's space up the front.

Whilst I figured they were not the norm, at least CLs would be higher up the food chain when it came to op-ups.

I hope for them that they have some priority over P1s, so they can get a bit more then 3% upgrades per year...
 
New fittings, esp the glass look cheap and horrible. I thought it used to look like the F lounge, but green?

As we all know some CLs get their status by virtue of their work without any actual flying and do very little actual flying. Surely a P1 should get a discretionary opp up ahead of those CLs?

Of course if the CL does enough flying to achieve P1 in their own right then they should be first in line for the discretionary opp up.

From memory, no, the Melbourne CL was older than the green First look of the CLs in Canberra, Sydney, Perth and Adelaide. (I haven't been to the Brisbane CL.)

No green in Brisbane.

Couldn't agree more. Not that I am CL or P1, but just doling out CL to all the politicians seems a joke. Party leaders, cabinet members maybe, but the rest of them... nah I don't think so!
