Pretty sad when some Cabin crew there earn more than the pilots
unfortunately that happens in Australia.
So they both have low hour pilots, they have similar safety records, so unless people are saying that only Aussie pilots are safe, go Air Asia I say.
How much is it worth to you to have an aussie crew is what you should be asking yourself when booking your tickets.
Not as much as it used to be. I feel comfortable in a QF passenger seat, that does not include QLink, the rest I rate similar to Asian LCC's.
