Can't comment on CX V VS but can comment on CX V QF.

QF - Boarding by rank as well as seniority, I know this will polarise but I cannot see why a 6 year CC should get on before a 5 year F/O

QF- 4 tickets a year at high priority ( admittedly no freebies, but who wants to travel Y anyway ? )

QF- the system itself is so superior to CX it's not funny, for starters you can actually check loads (staff and pax) whilst you are working out which flight you want and booking same. No stupid ticket machines, no delving into the depths of CX to try and work out if you will get on. Literally can book a flight anywhere, anytime, if you have a smart phone ( including booking just prior to flight closing )

QF - listing, what the hell is listing ? You booked your ticket on that flight so we figure you must want to travel on that one

QF - if you are QF group, a 1 year CC will never get on before a 15 year captain ( Dragonair ??? )

CX staff travel is one of the worst I've encountered and don't get me started on some of the staff at the counter
