I have always wondered, given an alternative why anybody in their right mind would want to fly Qantas overseas.
To add to the saftey issues of late, Qantas crew have for a long time "enjoyed" a very poor reputation for in flight service, along with round eyes, a bad attitude and butts built like a bullock.
A flight test with Qantas recently had this little gem.
"Service. The staff are attentive to me but at other times sound travel weary and a bit abrupt in the way they speak to other passengers. My neighbour requests a tissue and is told loudly: "No, we do not have T-shirts." She gets her tissue once I repeat the request." http://www.watoday.com.au/travel/traveller-tips/flight-test-qantas-economy-class-20091125-jpfx.html
