Ozcabincrew,
I think with a username like that you may have a hidden agenda. QF are definitely not in the same league as SQ. I have flown extensively in the last five years mostly long haul and mostly with SQ. However I have also flown with Lufthansa, Thai, Qantas, and Air New Zealand, when I do it reminds me why I fly SQ.
As for “I know a guy who heard from the wife of the guy who makes the tea at one of the airlines who has seen a singapore airlines aircraft”
I think I’ll need more than that to forgo top service, in favour of someone who thinks that you should be thanking them for flying on their airline, as you strain the watch the TV screen 20 rows ahead behind the guy standing in the aisle.
