1:50 everywhere else in the world and it works nicely.
...except when you are on a 20-30 minute qantas flight from YSSY to YSCB, when there is one extra flight attendant (in excess of the 1:50 rule) to serve all the politician fatcats their business class meal and alcohol.

So if it drops back to 1:35, does that mean they politicians commuting between the aforementioned ports get 1:35 plus one? Maybe if they only had 1:50 now, they (the politicians and regulators) would not be so keen to reduce the numbers further.

Cheers,
