Of course you are bemused Sunfish - any rational thought you have disappears when Qantas comes into your mind.

No 2 should be number 8?
Does the word arrogant mean anything.

can't argue about #1, at least from a sitting, eating, drinking, sleeping, watching, on time point of view.......

Based on what??

Safety?

Value for money?

On time?

Service?

Plenty of variables,IMHO.

Well if it was a survey it will have been done to passengers personal experiences and perhaps prejudices.....myself having travelled on all except Number 9 I am bemused by 2,5 and 7! As another poster says depends upon what was being measured..!

I am surprised 2 is there, also very surprised about no1. Everytime I have flown on 1, it was worse than 2! I reckon 4 should be where 1 is. Clearly 9 needs to be subtracted from the equation.

Quod Boy,
You are on the numbers..This is definitely not based on “Airlines to work for" # ! service is gr8, but at the cost of employee satisfaction ( 49 ring a bell, Flight attendant union just won huge court case against company etc. etc. ) The tail is waging the dog. They are saved by the Asian efficiency factor and geological location.............NOT good management!!!!!
