&lt;p&gt;Send this to their customer complaints and you'll get an IOU Business Class upgrade for your troubles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If it wasn't for the Freq Flyer Program I'd be given Qantas the ass. In fact I'm contemplating going Virgin from here on out, and I've racked up around 120k in 6 months.. so I'm no average traveller.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Wonder if I can get Singapore + Virgin Blue rewards to sync up some how heh.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1549164" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: What's happening to Qantas??</title><link>http://blogs.technet.com/b/mkleef/archive/2007/07/13/what-s-happening-to-qantas.aspx#1530892</link><pubDate>Mon, 16 Jul 2007 14:18:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:1530892</guid><dc:creator>Paul Young</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Is this apart from the union rule that says their flight attendents must be old rude women, their seat pitch reduce once each year and their aircraft never be less than 30 years old. Secondhand must be cheap.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I fly qantas internal, but I prefer Singapore anyday. Virgin has them for service, many other airlines have them for age of equipment and comfort. Devaluing the frequent flyer miles 18mths back was just another nail.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1530892" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: What's happening to Qantas??</title><link>http://blogs.technet.com/b/mkleef/archive/2007/07/13/what-s-happening-to-qantas.aspx#1513516</link><pubDate>Fri, 13 Jul 2007 13:33:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:1513516</guid><dc:creator>Robert Zolkos</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Michael,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The point I was trying to make re safety was that I hope that the obvious cost cutting that is highlighted in the poor experiences you've had of late are not extended to shortcuts with maintenance of safety systems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I agree that Qantas' safety is impeccable - I too fly with them !&lt;/p&gt;

This blog represents my own experiences and is not representative of Microsoft or its opinions at all - these are my personal opinions. One thing I want to be clear about is theres nothing wrong at all with Qantas' safety. I definately don't question that at all as in the 7 years Ive flown regularly with them Ive never had a issue where Ive been genuinely concerned for my safety. Their pilots are exceptionally well trained for all circumstances. Its the reason I only fly with them. &lt;/p&gt;
