Yes, that's exactly what I mention in the part of the post you quote ("I'm sure..."). An additional possibility is that each of us is culturally more intuitively compatible with some crew backgrounds than others? I always find it interesting that on the AF forum, some members (including non-French ones) describe AF crew as the very best that they have experienced and others describe them as horrible, and the same for LX, etc.

I'm sure that 95% of QR crew would have too to be honest, as would 95% of AF, LH, EK, CX, etc crew. It seems to me you were possibly just unlucky there.
