Hmmm, J*d theory is red hot.

Stupid way of implementing change.

Looks like it but we need more data before we can say that. Not that many complaints so far compared to the number of pax going through the F lounges and there is no shortage of AFFers who are visiting there every day.

Partly, but getting paid $40000-$55000 a year while pretty much everyone in the F lounge has paid about 1/4 of that to fly on one flight.....

Yes I am sure some staff are jealous

My point was it would be surprising for that to be the reason behind the invocation of the RSA.

Also it's worth bearing in mind not all F guests are created equally, many are shiny card holders, of which some may even be on a JQ domestic flight like the OP. I think it would be a mistake to confuse what essentially is an airline marketing scheme with socio-economic position, like what is being inferred.

It's called the "Tell"

A tell in poker is a change in a player's behavior or demeanor that is claimed by some to give clues to that player's assessment of their hand

The number of passengers accessing the Flounge via J*d would be minuscule (excluding AFF piss ups) compared to the general Flounge clientele.

Yes. It is definitely possible to be a shiny card holder, or even a very shiny card holder on a salary in the ~$65k range. Or possibly even less...

IIRC the first insult is from an ex-mod. The hatred is evident in every key stroke - that story must be a ripper! LOL

That person is unlikely to have even bothered clicking through ... in which case would have making a rather uninformed comment

I'm assuming that DN is Australian - given he was an AFF MOD ... superiority curses all breeds.

He speaks with an english accent ... I presume England is his motherland. ... anyway that's getting off topic ...

I concur with this. I mainly fly ex-SYD, BP shown at the desk on entry and never asked about which flight I'm on afterwards. Been through MEL four times in the last 12 months and on each occasion the wait staff have asked me which flight I'm on when they take my order. It's pretty much a MEL thing. I always thought it was so that they could determine how quick your meal had to be served but now I'm not so sure.
If I get asked next Sat I'll answer but I'm also going to enquire why they need to know that.
