Why Solitaire PPS abreviation is TPP?

[CGK]

Peter11 just asked me this. We know QPP is qualified PPS. LPP is Life PPS. But why is Solitaire becoming TPP?

[StarG]

I don't know for sure, but I would venture a guess: Top Priority Passenger?

[LukeGT]

i agree with StarG. My thought was the same, before reading his.

If:

QPP = Qualified PPS
LPP = Life PPS

Surely TPP = T... PPS rather than Top Priority Passenger ?

[StarG]

In case you didn't already know, PPS itself is Priority Passenger Service.

* Note: The letters ‘PPS’ originally stood for ‘Priority Passenger Service’, but here's a little piece of advice: don’t use the full name, unless you want to lose your FF-cred

Seriously, so is it ?

Qualified Priority Passenger Service
Top Priority Passenger Service
Life Priority Passenger Service

... but "T" could mean so many other things!

[StarG]

Of course!
Any other possibilities you thought of?

Thanks for the pic! I definitely prefer the current design with the SQ inspired semi-transparent kebaya stripe down one side (although I'm sure someone has posted on here or the old forum a pic of an older card which was also quite nice).

T could stand for so many things - e.g. terrific, terrible, tedious, total PITA priority passenger (not all!) etc - but I think your "top" is much more likely.

I actually like this one best, followed by the one before the current one (with kebaya image across from left to right).

I learn something every day - I've always believed PPS was Priority Passenger Status!

Tipsy Priority Pax, they consistently make it into the SKL F to swill bubbly.

This is the one I was talking about:

You mean SQ should do another kind of checking into SKL? And one might be directed to the dry area only?

Anyway, I like the card blue with kebaya pattern. It's the first card I got.

I know. That is unfortunate.
