what next at QF ff programme ?

[XPT]

it now costs 96,000 (48,000 x 2) QF ff points to get an economy ff seat SYD/LAX/SYD + around $876 in taxes & fuel surcharge.

You can buy the same for $1299 in off peak periods, when there are lots of availability of ff seats.

On this basis 96,000 pts are worth only $423.

(many people think they'll use their points to fly in peak season, but they'll have no chance of getting seats then)

& that's now. Wait til they increase points required & up the fees even more.

Similar thing happened at United few years ago.

Now the United miles are virtually useless.

Any more changes to QF ff programme will have a massive impact on future employment at QF.

The Qantas PR firm should be sacked (external). Internal PR is already on the chopping block.

There's this wonderful forum at The Australian Frequent ? Australia's leading Frequent Flyer Community and Travel Website (http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/) which worries about passenger issues.

this is more about employment issues at QF.

If QF keeps pissing off customers, they won't have as many customers & they won't need & won't be able to afford as many staff & certainly won't be able to pay any redundancies.

The so called $3B cash in the bank, is for fares not yet flown.

If QF Int shuts down, much of this money, will simply be refunded to passengers who have paid by credit card (charge backs). The banks won't ever lose.

Downward spiral coming. Looks like Ansett all over again.

There seems to be some error here.
