heck even Delta or American and you will see how woeful the entire Qantas experience is these days, more specifically the 747.
I have arrived at the conclusion that Qantas Management and employees think the current product and service standard is world class. But then why are they fairly non existent outside of Sydney? The competitors most certainly have them by the balls and rightly so!
On an engineering front, well they cost 25-30% more to operate compared to a big twin which is why nobody else flies them anymore.
Recently a charter group wanted a big heavy for a global charter, and they wouldn’t give QF the job until they refreshed the 747 Business cabin as they claimed it was prehistoric, so if your wondering why one bird has a more updated look.
