Well, I'm not that familiar with the economics of it all, but I have to say, I travelled on QF today and was impressed, despite the zero personal space that they allow per seat, which is the case on most airlines in economy anyway. Dunno how much money they made on the $249 that I paid, but they seem to be doing ok. For now.
Departure and arrival on time, food actually worth sniffing at, friendly crew and generally a good impression, unlike NJS and a few others.
Why are NJS crews always so obviously grumpy?
