I am still rather bemused though - and nobody seems to have commented on it yet - that it is being touted as a "security" issue, yet they are delaying its implementation by a month. If it was such a problem, one would think that it would be brought in immediately.

I guess that shows how much of a "security" issue it is, that it is being delayed, we had all better hope for no "security" breaches in the meantime :eek: :rolleyes:

thadocta's correct. It's a cost cutting measure. :mad:

I have regularly used it for non urgent mail. (Strangely, most of the time I arrive at QP's it afternoon or evening and well after "the last mail" time :p ).

Only problem I ever had was in CNS where mrs serfty put 10 postcards or so in QP evelopes and requested posting.

We were politely told (as they a good at doing in CNS) that they were not a post office and there was a limit of four! No problem, I produced 6 45¢ stamps & stuck them on 6 of the envelopes. They then accepted the mail and off we went.

Though it's not AF's fault that T2E fell down ...

I read that email as they would not accept INCOMING items for members - not that they wouldn't send outgoing... I guess I read it wrong. d'oh!

Yeah, it's deliberately (I think) confusing, I've copied the text, bolding the appropriate bits:

Qantas Club staff will no longer be able to accept postal, couriered or other items from, for, or on behalf of, lounge members
