"Funny" conversation the other day at SP check-in counter in VIE. I give my ID and FB card (the heavy metal one) to the contractor agent AFKL are using in VIE. He said "wow, 1st time I see this status and this card, very nice. You should fly a lot to get this. What are the benefits ?". In my response I included "sometimes we get escorted from counter to lounge and from lounge to plane and pre-boarding, but it depends on local goodwills".
He gave me everything back with a "how cool" and that was it. Another proof that Ulti training is inexistent in many outstations.
