You obviously know absolutely nothing about the modern Garuda Airlines.
Just my opinion based on observation of Garuda's deteriorating performance in recent months, passenger complaints increasing due spate of delays & major flight cancellations since December, even pilots talking about Garuda's good reputation being ruined, pilot & union discontent with new management cost cutting due to huge losses in 2017 & new board members with no airline experience contributing to deteriorating performance, $64.3 million loss for Jan- March period. Not great when an airline has all it's pilots threatening to strike (called off at last minute) & claiming management not listening.
I've flown a few airlines too & worked (in management) for a few as well, & the point I was making was just Imo wouldn't rate Garuda above Air NZ although happy to accept others may see differently.
Relax RR has your back with their forthcoming robots.

Welcome back...I kind of missed sparring paws with you. Brilliant service standards on another cut price carrier leading to more traumatized passengers. https://www.msn.com/en-nz/news/world...cid=spartandhp I would think that would be a firing offence on an AIR aircraft. Wonder how the top brass would discipline that Air China Pilot ? We bus ticket slap on the paw PT ? Note the reasonably lengthy incarceration of a British Airways pilot...an indication that for want of a better description "traditional" carriers take these sort of issues more seriously ?
My goodness...that certainly was taken extremely seriously !

"Once the crew saw that the air conditioning had been turned off, they reactivated it and brought the flight back to its normal altitude."
The smoking and turning the air-con off is actually the minor part of the incident.
Once the emergency oxygen had been deployed they should have stayed low and landed as was practible. Climbing back to altitude with a spent oxygen system was a critical, life-threatening action that had no justification in the circumstances.

Several of those ahead of AIR in the rankings have similar and other problems, but the awards are about customer satisfaction as determined by consensus of the many.

Passengers still steadily increasing, although revenue passenger kms have a slight dent in them. Graphs attached. Capture.jpg
PS Has had a peek at the AIR's fuel hedging recently? 2017H2 saw -952k net compensation. 2018H2 on track for 48M net compensation. Not an accountant so unsure how that flows through to financials.
