I have kept my QF economy plastic cutlery, great for picnics, work etc.^
It is my understanding, from someone at QF, that it is simply a result of a long term supply arrangement for th eplastic, and it would cost them too much to switch. perhaps when the contract expires, they will "review" the use of plastic in F and J and reintroduce metal.
I always thought it was crazy that AA used metal and QF did not, ostensibly for security reasons.
