  Hi, Rob.

  Do you know the date from when TK1986 will start with 787-9 aircraft? I check few dates this month and in April 2020 on TK website and all TK1986 still show an old aircraft? Or do you think it has already started and the info on the website is just not updated yet?

  Thanks for reply in advance.

  In a sign of cockpit crews’ hardening attitude, the Balpa pilots’ union warned there could be further strikes after those scheduled for next week. Thousands of BA pilots have held mass meetings, with plans to crowdfund money to fund an extended strike campaign.

  “The only way to deal with [BA’s] approach is to display steely-eyed resolve,” said a BA pilot who asked not to be named. He said there were already funds for a couple of weeks’ worth of strikes. “They are ready for the long haul,” he added.

  OT: Upgrade to Personal Platinum with referral from OH, or self from Green
  Scenario : 1. I have no current primary AMEX cards ( but have 2 supps under OH’s cards, inc Gold PRC and BAPP ) and not eligible until Sept 2020 to reapply for either as primary acc holder.
  2. OH has Gold PRC with 1st year due to finish mid-Oct. 2019 and a BAPP we will be keeping when it renews Dec 2019.
  Looking to maximise Avios / MRs on referral for OH so thoughts are :
  I) Self refer OH only on BAPP up to personal Plat and add me in post card delivery to trigger bonus for supp Plat card ( is there a fee for supp Plat ) ?
  2. I take out Green ( if poss under 24 month rules ) and immediately self upgrade to Plat, then add OH in near future as supp Plat.

  Thought I had my head round recent events but struggling. Thanks in advance ( again ).

    2 is possible no problem, I guess you would use the 20K upgrade, obvs you won’t get sign up bonus on green

  I have to say i m not a big fan if this new TK biz class (flew back and forth from Bali). It might be good for single travellers looking for privacy but if you travel with a family, it is not great as you cant see each other (even the 2 seats are only close for half of the rows and even then the screens are still blocking the view)
  I also found the ‘hole’ for your legs very narrow making me hit the walls regularly
