I just flew SFO-HKG and the crew was HKG based and gave spectacular service, including saying goodbye to me by name as I passed one FA leaving the aircraft (I was nowhere near my seat so she had to have remembered me by sight). I'm not sure if the return crew (HKG-SFO) was SFO or HKG based, but the service was almost as good.
It's the element of chance, though. If you were considering a pricey restaurant where 70% of the meals were worthy of a Michelin star but the other 30% were salmonella bombs, you wouldn't eat there no matter how tempting the 70% looked.
As for getting pushed out of the way by a crazy FA, I'd say that calls for a write-up, no matter how senior she was. If you touch her, after all, it counts as assault.
