"Most have gone back to QF. Why??? One comment was" I reckon the old bag with the grumpy face".
This is another stereotype of something. Qantas is not all grumpy and old......again another generalisation based on something that's come from years ago from someone's experience that has been told to someone else and so on and so on and it's just stuck. People need to actually open their eyes next time they fly QF and have a look at the crew and you'll soon find that there are a lot of young happy, crew aswell flying for QF.
I don't know about DJ, but the crew that evacuated the QF70 in Japan last August were certainly not old, infact all were quite young. so the relevance as to who would be able to get you out of an aircraft based on age is completely irrelevent, we all do the same training therfore 'should' all react in the same way.
