17 years officially for me, though I had lurked around for many years before, but didn't feel that paying was worth it. The thing that actually got me to pay was a "where in the world is this?" Photo post. If I am remembering correctly it was a picture of a French cathedral, I had literall...

With a new first class coming on the way, will QR lessen the features and luxuries of the Qsuite ? If they do that they stand to lose customers.

Jump to postAudit findings are normal. If there aren’t any findings then the audit process likely isn’t working. This is not how our management views it.

Calling British Midland a successful global airline is a bit of a stretch, no, actually its a heck of a stretch, as much as I liked them if not for their LHR slots they would have died well before the forced LH take over.
