G'day Bakela,
OK my post might have been a bit contradictory. Probably a result of too many Castle Largers during an afternoon brai.
As a regular o'seas traveller though, I find the cabin crew service to be some of the best I have experienced compared with say QF, BA, SQ, MH etc.
So despite the fact that the seat pitch sucks , I still think they are a great airline. If only they'd use the 747-400 on the Perth runs.
