I very much disagree with QF's practice. Thankfully, I have not had to worry about that.

Ah, but it is very much related to Qantas. As a WP, I can very much complain about that. As an EXP, I can peripherally complaint about it. Either way, I'd like to see JQ out and QF in (or back).

Welcome to FlyerTalk. I'm Spiff, and I am a frequent flyer.

I do have status. And I expect said status to do something for me when I fly an airline related to a major international airline that I do have status on. (QF) If I wanted a status-free experience, I'd choose to fly much differently.

Oh no. It's a discount carrier with a relationship with a supposedly premium airline. And while I might be able to get an assigned seat or slip someone $20 for lounge access, I consider such "perqs" to be very substandard compared to the perqs I receive when I fly an airline like QF, AA, or DL.
