This is my first and last flight by Qantas. Have been telling my relatives and friends not to take them.

Their Stewards and Stewardess are not grounded once they reached 35, unlike in SQ flights. Also, there must be instances of the flight attendants being racist and looked down on Asian travellers......

I am sure you had flown with Quantas before, and therefore will be able to judge the service on that airline........
I was also upgraded to their Business class, very good. Inflight entertainment system has 300 movies.
