Some might complain about the cabin service on Qantas on long haul flights - although on the few times I have travelled overseas on Qantas I saw no problems in that area. But I choose the White Rat when flying overseas because as a nervous pilot passenger I have total confidence in the competence, professionalism and flight safety ethos of the people running the sharp end. No loss of face dangers when it comes to operational decision making - just good old Australian pragmatism.
