Needed to be said….Mentour Pilot discusses the fall of QF

[Forg]

I obviously don’t know what happened; I thought a flight was cancelled not long before that flight, which had been put on as a special service for a sporting event, for claimed borked-‘plane reasons. And that it was too close to the game for timely alternatives to be offered?

I like his videos, and he captures the current sentiment well. Qantas is an iconic brand; however, nothing is forever, and complacency is a killer in any business or endeavor. Hopefully, Hudson can 'trim' the ship - aviation remains an emotive business in a vast country such as ours

There's probably not as many overseas members as people think. There are however lots of Aussies holding QFF accounts that don't have very much activity on it.

You get it for free from various sources, for access to something or family member told you to sign up so you did.

Active engaged members is likely one stat we'll never get.

It'd be well below MyerOne active engaged members that I read yesterday was almost 78 per cent, based on who'd made a purchase quoting their MyerOne membership number within financial year 2023-24 that finished on 31 January 2024 (not 30 June as is most common in Oz).

That could be ‘cos buying something at Myer normally means paying the market rate for that thing (or even less when on sale) whereas there’s not a lot you can buy from the QFF scheme that’s good value for points or for cash (aside: I’ve noticed that sometimes the wine deals are good), and flights aren’t purchased by us Great Unwatched very often (and with points is hard to do & with cash there’re usually cheaper &/or better alternatives).

Maybe also ‘cos the points don’t expire … so unlike the VA scheme you don’t have to hunt around for something that’s not too overpriced on their site if you’ve not booked a flight or the odd accommodation you can link the VA card with.

Aside - wow these new ads that completely mess with the format & remove the edit-box are annoying aren’t they?

Be careful of AI-generated responses!

In the year ended 2023, 720,000 new members joined, with 74.6% (not 78%)
% using their Myer One card

Does Qantas report how many passengers use a QFF#?
