*A members need to 'lift their game' Australia: Air NZ Exec

[pauly7]

I've found another article, dated 2nd April 2008:
Star Alliance CEO expresses concerns about Virgin Blue's business model
The tone of the article almost makes it sound like he's irritated that they aren't suitable yet and that he expected they would be.

Haha - love the quote 'Air NZ are not keen on DJ joining the Star Alliance'

No way.....!

As for V australia.... they say they have a full flat horizontal J product... they also offer more leg room than QF in Y......why lie about it if it is not true???

ummm, Skybed 2 on similar routes on the A380 will be fully flat if understand correctly, and i think the 777 config in whY there was possibly 1" more leg room than QF. I remember looking at the product descriptions and they looked almost identical to each other. And the prices are pretty close as well.

My original post stated that they will have a fully flat/horizontal bed that would be better than most STAR carriers.... I never said anything about QF J... I subsequently mentioned the minimal extra legroom VS QF.....

It's possible that we might see V Australia join with Virgin Blue as their 'regional partner' as silly as this arrangement may seem.

Sorry, i realised that when re-reading. Yes, your right, not so many flat beds in A* from what i have seen but don't fly so much, i guess most *A carriers will update soon.
