Yeah, great idea Sunfish. Why not avoid Qantas at all costs. Cause its all about the fluffy little trinkets in the cabin. Why don't you do yourself a favour and assemble a technical perspective. When my family board a QF ship, I am never concerned as to their safety because I know the guys up the front ARE quality!! Cannot say the same ref a couple of your above mentioned carriers....but then again, I am taking a technical perspective.

trouble is, I used to work for AN engineering division. and I'm aware of the deterioration in QF standards referenced in PPrune.
Stick QF up your backside, it's running on its reputation and nothing else.
The rot set in around 1986.
Nobody will fly QF internationally unless they have no choice, unless they are Sydney siders.
