If Gold is the highest level in the Olympics, then SQ should have given him the highest level within their loyalty Programme and as anon time gesture, Lifetime PPS Club Solitaire!
All SQ tried to do with Schooling's win was to take the limelight and promote its own brand but there was an epic failure with the photography at São Paulo Airport where Schooling was not in the centre stage - he was in the back (some goof head with flight attendants hands over him was depicted - note: I bet th flight attendant though this joker was Schooling). Why didn't the photographer or the SIA crew/Pilots correct the situation - completely brainless!!!
