Youngest Solitaire PPS
Just to make some of you jealous 
:
A friend's boss has a son which became the youngest Solitaire PPS at just 4 years old.
The kid's mom automatically became the supplementary card holder.

And I thought it was you, the new Solitaire PPS member!
No champagne for the youngster. I guess he does not care about status at the moment.

SQ-PPS relaxed the 4 years QPPS requirement for Solitaire eligibility. I got mine. I was still QPP2 when I flew end of Nov to surpass 250 sectors. And in Dec, I became TPP3. 
Unfortunately, I am no longer 4 years old. So I am not so sure whether I can get my Life Solitaire. It seems this youngest Solitaire PPS will be the youngest Life Solitaire if the parents have the same near future travel patterns.

flamboyant 1: I am still a QPP unfortunately, 8 sectors away from TPP 
The dad of this kid actually qualified as TPP one year after the son. The son travelled extensively with his grandparents.

Just make sure the kid gets lots of apple juice and green vegies (anti-oxidants) before and during the flight, since he probably won't take any antioxidant tablets. Constantly moisturise his skin.. or else time won't be gentle to him when he reaches his 20s.

Exactly the first thought I had.
Those cosmic rays have probably done irrepairable damage to his fragile young brain and other assorted tissue and cells. Recall that the radiation dose of one long-haul trip equals to one shot of chest X-ray. This kid is clearly way above the recommended safety limit.
Maybe this is where the SQ company medical director should chip in and warn the customer and guardian.
One other thing. What are the grandparents doing with all their FF points?!?

I thought about the fatigue, but not the radiation. Well, I guess you may be right.
Solitaire: 250 sectors minimum.
That is about 15-20 long haul return trips from Jakarta.

Elitism at what cost? Is that card worth it?
