Qantas :
- bookings instant over the net, no printing out tickets.
- actual pax/staff numbers ( and priority )easliy available
- kids can travel in J
- as a general rule, the CC do not hate you for coming to " their " country and taking " their " compatriates jobs. ( and getting paid 10 times as much )
Travelled on QF as non-staff, ZED fare, upgraded to J, try that one on CX.
Cx captain would not dare ask/tell ISM to upgrade anyone, 95% chance of being reported and ending up with a written warning.
All in all, yes CX staff travel is one of the suckier ones
