What a joke. Qantas really are pushing the friendship with frequent flyers and they think they can keep getting away with it. I feel wrong even thinking about flying V but now I feel its only a matter of time and I'm hearing the same from a lot of Platinums.
Don't give it a second thought.
It's pretty obvious to those of us at the coal face that QF management's agenda is to destroy the airline by design.
A couple of years and their mission will be complete.
All to get around the Qantas sales act I suspect.
I liken the situation whereby a property developer has a "listed" property in their portfolio with severe heritage type restrictions on what can be done with it.
They neglect the property's upkeep and general maintenance to such an extent that it can no longer feasibly be redeveloped short of complete demolition.
This of course being the desired outcome anyway.
Google "demolition by neglect", there's plenty of instances like this.
QF is being "managed" in exactly the same way with the QF sales act equating to a, "heritage listing".
Think about it and tell me I'm wrong.
