Hi there everyone.
I have recently suffered a couple of affronts at the hands of Qantas. Perhaps most notoriously the failure of IFE on a long haul flight and the battle to get something near a semblance of compensation for such.
I have, for a long time, pondered my devotion to QF. I have often suffered less-than-good flights, less-than-good service. And so I was reaching the limit - the choice to discard QF and fly with others.
After the IFE/compo fiasco I suddenly thought I was free. Stuff QF, use best fare of day and/or run with a competitor.
But just when I finally felt free, I did QF28 SCL-SYD yesterday.
And perfect crew.
Now I do this sector almost every month, but running the numbers, it still means there are about 20 crews so no wonder I do not know them all. But the crew I got today was, to put it simply, perfect.
And I mean perfect for QF. There was not the doting cheap charm of an EK first cabin, but rather that beautiful feel of a highly skilled Aussie crew that were happy and did their job perfectly.
Apart from the "hosties", the CSM was awesome. I have never, in about 1000 flights, seen a CSM so proactive throughout the entire flight to ensure everything went well.
I did a quick email to the P1 team to highlight these staff. I think that is the best way to do it?
So now I am less sure about jumping ship...... Was it all orchestrated to make me feel this??
I don't think so.
