I have not been on enough airlines to say it is the best in the world, but their service in economy class has certainly been excellent every time I have used them.
Not sure of the salary structure today but sometime in the mid 1980's I read an interview with their CEO (I think) and part of the reason for their excellent service was the following: Hire nice looking young women who wanted this high in demand job and push the wages down. As the wages were squeezed, the ratio of stewardesses (as they were known then) to passengers was kept higher than the competition.

Best airline in the world. Especially their Business Class on the A380.

Never flown with them myself, but I hope to.

Darn I was next to there today. My favorite airline, I'm a loyal Krisflyer member. The staff are awesome.
