From my experience as an SLF this award is very well-deserved. Pushing back in Sydney on the way to Seoul, I was astonished to see several large, hairy Australian ground-crew lined up waving the flight off. It happened again, all the way to Seattle, and back...
Couldn't care less about the nice waving ground staff and you beaut in flight service. As long as the pilots are not affected by their local culture and do consistently safe well flown stable approaches and don't run into hills, then I am happy to fly with most airlines.
