On topic. as I have said before, I was SO proud of QF in the mid 70's. They had soemthing to prove and they proved it.
I remember travelling back from LHR and across the isle was a family of Pom's (the translucent sun deprived kind) who were emigrating and obviously rather concerned if they were making the right decision . Mum, Dad and two little kids.
The QF steward sussed out what was happening. He fussed over all of them, found out where they were migrating to, looked after them "here you go kids - this is Australian sunshine - orange juice- get it in yer", and basically put them at there ease as much as he could - it made you proud.
I don't thinkl I've seen that behaviour for ten years, but maybe my standards are too high.
