I'd love to find out first hand what 'international flying' is like but seems Qantas don't want anyone to do that these days without working under inferior terms of employment.
As I said, as I have not flown ('proper') long haul myself I can only go by what I've seen and what other (LH and ex LH) crew tell me... my comment about crew disappearing was not meant to be a jab at all LH crew.. just that we were amused that it seemed they'd gone off a nap as 2hr out of SIN and not a drink to be had for over an hour... yes with call bells... but that could happen on any flight I admit!
Glad to see you're not the kind to fly off the handle... seems to happen far too much in D&G these days...
Anyway back to your regularly scheduled topic... ah yes Cabin Services!!
