Default Has the flying kangaroo lost its mojo?

QANTAS has slipped in the rankings of the world's best airlines, yet again.
The airline was named the world’s eight-best carrier in the 2011 Skytrax World Airline Awards, down from seventh place last year. It took out third place in 2008 but has fallen down the rankings every year since then

IMO I think this ranking would only be true if compared to other INTL carriers can't really make this rating based on DOM operations as it would be most probably be in the top 2

I have flown Qatar and I'm not convinced this ranking is a true representation of its standing amongst travellers.

Emirates is generally overhyped - if you want a great middle eastern carrier try Qatar or Etihad!

I would say that Qantas is not doing too badly still to be in the top 10 - there are a lot of world class airlines on that list
