'andad post - 27 consecutive years, nothing at any of the milestones. Except I did get GFL about 10 years before 35000 TP's became public.

[QUOTE=morges1;29648823]How did you manage that? My BA account says member since Jan 89. I was at 100,000 TP when the FLs began and had been averaging around 7,000 per annum before that!

I have often wondered how as well ! I have dug up the letter from BAEC, date Feb 2002, inviting me "to become one of the first BA LTG EC members". I still don't know why, I had rarely exceeded 3500 TP's in a year, also member since 1989 like you (Gold within first year). I did continue to fly in pretty empty aircraft while the RAF attacked someone (Libya?) and BA check in areas were moved to far corners of some airports, and 4 very empty flights on Sept 12th & 13th 2001, but I doubt stubborn loyalty came into it. At the time GFL felt quite special, & I certainly have appreciated the benefits now that I only fly for leisure (BA), GFL works both ways.
Any advance on Feb 2002 anyone, or insight ?
