'.....whilst not having had the "pleasure" of flying with China Southern. I have flown with 2 other airlines as part of the CAAC group.
Air China are the standout for improvement (could be somehow related to their tie up with CX). I had 3 flights with them last year to Beijing (because QF reckon Shanghai is THE ONLY chinese port to have the red tail in

Hell, even airlines like China Southern are comIng up with (wait for it )
A FORWARD STRATEGY, that is = GROWTH.
the QF "strategy" is one ...hell bent on wingeing, slashing, mumbling,dithering and prematurely letting their load off without any fore-"thought".
Quick......pass the NASAL DELIVERY SPRAY.
