Not sure if this was true, but didn't CASA say something about line of sight issues with full dividers with curtains on domestic/Short Haul runs or thereabouts some decades ago? This I'd assume doesn't apply to widebodies flying on international runs nor international carriers flying into Australia

Thus why QF/VA hadn't had full dividers with curtains due assumedly to CASA.

It’s actually so they are able to reduce cabin crew for safety demo.

Why? Curtains remain open during take off and landing and also don't think they use less cabin crew on most aircraft than what Aussie ones have?

Not sure about CASA but certainly european airlines still fly with curtains without issues so I can't see what make Australia so special?

I was surprised they were allowed to use row 1 FA for the briefing of rows into Economy 3 onwards. Sitting in 3A can be hard to see through sometimes.
