Will QF Relax Status Requalifications
It seems awfully selfish to be worried about this but I wonder where these issue will go in the current state of affairs. I can't recall if QF was generous in the SARS episode.
Although we are in unprecedented times and past conduct isn't a reliable indicator of what will happen over the next few months, has any one got reliable theories/information on what QF will do if any to stop people dropping Status unintentionally? Or do you think this will be a good excuse by QF to reset the numbers on each levels and thin out the Business Lounge!

Useful question. I’ll be 120 short (was initially planned to be 500+ over), and likely being locked down in the NT until past my requalification deadline (October).
Have a horse in the other side of the race as well given that pants is likely to be made redundant and can’t even come live with me because lockdown

Just be patient. I am sure once things move to being a little less abnormal, airlines will I am sure do something to incentivise passengers return. The only priority on FF programs right now is to provide cash to the business through non travel related points earning opportunities ....

They should relax requalification requirements, and immediately cancel the CL memberships of every moron politician who is responsible for destroying the global economy and doing far more damage than some coughy-boi virus will ever do.
Taxpayers will spend the next 150 years paying for this. The $700M or so for airlines is just the start.
Luckily I'd already met the 1,200 SCs for my membership year (ending 30 April).
I suspect they'll do something similar to post-9/11 - double SCs/ maybe points for a period to get people back in the air.

Thanks for the email, Olivia. As a Lifetime gold getting an extension of 12 months of gold doesn't seem to me to be a major benefit. I'm pleased though that Qantas thinks I (and Qantas too) will still be here in 12 months.
