Any airlines rating system worth its salt should strive to evaluate the entire airline, rather than just 10% of its operations. The fact that I can rest assured that I'll never wind up on 737 when flying SQ or CX is something that should count in their favor (i.e. the odds of me being comfortable 8 times greater than they are on any random HU flight).


Even comparing widebody hard product the HU A333 are as good as Singapore's A333 in economy, and probably better in business (staggered 1-2-1 vs 2-2-2).
TMK, only F class on their 340s is 1-2-1.

ETA: I just found a pic of the cabin to which you're referring:

I will admit that it looks nice. How many airplanes have that configuration?
