GA lack any infrastructure and a sound business plan of course, but I do think in theory they have demonstrated there’s plenty of scope to better the likes of BA. Whether that can be done profitably is another story.
One snag being it as not 'globals cabin'. if global buy another 380 they will not refit it with a China airlines cabin, as things stand all their aircraft will have different hard products.

In terms of soft product, anyone can be better than ba, lufthansa af etc by losing lots of money on every flight. That will go one of two ways, the soft product is 'enhanced' or the airline itself is 'enhanced'
