Please accept my apology Phil, I some how missed this post. From a crew quality perspective the likes of BA, Quantas and Virgin would get my vote, but that is not to say that I support the business model or owners/vested interests of any of those companies. I am not a fan of Mr Branson and his business tactics, but I have great respect for his cabin crew and give some kudos to him for his affinity to utilising the skills and grounding of former military personnel. They have been through the beasting and the grinder of stress testing. No one is perfect and there will always be the exception but I would trust the tried and tested more with my wellbeing than those of less experience and a shorter route to a flight deck.
