What is your opinion if there are changes in PPS Club?

[jjpb3]

You mean that many QPPs who go to SKL demanded for tougher requirement for qualification?

That QPPs (PITAs that they are ) kept giving feedback about how crowded the SKL was. SQ then probably had a team of [] mid-level managers brainstorm some options to solve the problem.

I don't think QPPs and TPPs would demand tougher qualification requirements: that would push them further away from LPP. Now LPPs, on the other hand, ...

SQ could always raise the annual PPS requalification requirement (e.g. 100 sectors per year) but keep the LPPS requirement the same. This would mean that someone would need to fly 8 times a year BKK-LHR (say) - not an impossible target for a frequent business traveller (but too high for the likes of me) - and it would take 10 years to qualify for LPPS.

let's start being concrete: dear CGK, how many secs (secs, not sex ) and miles will be necessary?

[jhm]

We need CGK to start chirping like a songbird or MAN Flyer to have another one of his dreams!

[globetrekker84]

Dear SQ,

Stop making it so hard for me to qualify for LPPS!

Love,

If they cut CGK as a PPS route, I will NOT be happy. It's already ridiculously expensive as is for Y. I can't afford C or F. And for a 90 minute flight!

Remember, it's a whisper. And sex?

Staying on the sex theme, aren't there porn stars called Sierra, Echo and Charlie?

Please stop giving SQ ideas.

Feb 1, a day of regret
77W - it's time we forget
For under threat is our PPS
If gets any worse, we'll be out on our ass!

So boys and girls - you know what to do
Maybe even join flying blue
Cor! I'll miss the SKL
But I should think it'll beat DL!

But if i leave the silver Kris, I fear
I will most likely end up visiting the Pier
For i want to arrive in better shape
hopefully this doesn't sound like a sour grape

The Traitors in green have something new
Even perhaps, the equal of SQ
I'm think I'm inclined to say I agree
Purely because of these bloody surcharges you see!

[globetrekker84]

WOW shortfinals. Just WOW.

[Savage25]

Thats a classic, shortfinals ...have you considered a change of career?

[9V-JKL]

shortfinals you actually made that up so early in the morning? WOW! I'm IMPRESSED!

[9V-JKL]

Maybe SQ needs to differentiate PPS depending on where a person is based ? Higher levels for those based in SEA ?

Especially so now that my new company allows me to fly C

Right, but my point was that some QPPs and TPPs don't have an incentive to demand that kind of change. 100 sectors per year would be a much higher requirement for someone who just squeaks (if you can use that term for someone who spends, or whose company spends, that kind of money) into PPS membership. Existing LPPs, on the other hand, might not mind such a change, just as many immigrants aren't too concerned about seeing the immigration hurdles raised once they've crossed into citizenship themselves. (In fact, IME in the US, some of these same immigrants support the most anti-immigrant initiatives.)
