The totally off-topic thread

As one flight attendant said to me "our F word is better - Federal Police"

Absolute gold!

Exactly what I said to ozbeachbabe today!

 

[Ewing]

Every flight appears to be arriving late into SYD and my flight looks to be delayed at least 10 minutes at this stage.

Hope no one is travelling into/out of SYD today....

I flew into SYD, but arrived at 9:24pm - 4 minutes behind schedule (departed 10 mins late).

Having said that, the three flights to SYD before mine (my inbound flight to BNE arrived at 6pm) were delayed from between 15-45mins.

A Tab marked TBA. Text that says to log in to Bid on or Post classifieds. Hmm....

I think I know what that is about ... I'm sure Admin will advise at the appropriate time.

Mods and admin know what it is - we are discussing and testing. We will advise. Nice pick up oz_mark.

I was just thinking that!!

Shame VA luggage tags have my name printed on them. Kinda hard to sell.

 

[JohnK]

Is that an announcement, or a hypothetical?

Not an announcement. I should be around until at least January 2012.

All depends on my health and how I am treated at work....

...visits to the QF F lounges in Mel & Syd this week will not help

...I missed my JQi flight from Mel to Syd, and had to be escorted back out through immigration @ Mel...more details to come:shock::evil:. (PS: it was not because I had too much to drink if you are wondering!:shock

Not quite off topic, but when did QF decide to change the loyalty bonus around to membership year reset to zero instead of normal accrual until 500 are met?

Doesn't do much for the smaller spenders at all:!:

They did that during the last round of "enhancements". My wife and two kids will both be losing their lifetime accumulation of SCs towards the bonus at the end of the year

Did the lounge staff not call the flight, or was there no call from the gate to the lounge. I hope at least you got to use the lounge. I inquired once as it was getting late and boarding was almost completed when I got to the gate.

Probably one of the worst moves Qantas did in the last changes, great way to to loose loyalty amongst those customers who don't do a lot of flying.

Maybe that could be one of my questions for Red Roo.

Did anyone notice the edit from straitman at 3:19am, I don't envy anyone who is awake at that hour.

Kind of - some pros and cons. Possibly back to Qld in 2013.
