Positive from LY's standpoint, no sure about Quantas..
LY gives 2 free bags on Premium Economy.
Economy Plus is just a better seat, not a different class

OP is probably talking about Premium Economy, AFAIK you can't book Economy+ on Quantas.

Where's my HT?

Though I also added possible solutions for the "smart-Alecs" described in the post (but can understand why it had to be censored out of DDMS just like ChaimMoskowitz was substituted by Smart-Alecs ;) )

All of that being said, I am surprised that @Dan, listing Hebrew as #2 on fluency (and English as #1!), couldn't come up with a better translation to the ELAL CEO post? I think at this point even @ChaimMoskowitz knows better than using Google Translate, and might have come up with a version that doesn't read like a product of Sergei Brinn's AI.

Quote from: DDMS

“למען הסר ספק הוריתי היום על חידוד הנהלים בנושא ולהבא נוסע שייסרב לשבת ליד נוסע אחר יורד באופן מיידי מהטיסה”

Roughly translated, “For the avoidance of doubt, I ordered today the strengthening of these procedures and from now on, any passenger that refuses to sit next to someone will be immediately ejected from the plane.”
If you have something better than post it rather than just being a critic.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

From claiming they will do so, to actually doing so, is a long way

Was initially going to do so, but gave up as I was on a small touch screen at the time. Will get to it soon, unless someone beats me to it.

ETA:

Someone did comment on DDMS about a more accurate translation of חידוד הנהלים.

Here's how I might have worded it:
"...To avoid any doubt [in regards to our non-discrimination policies], I have issued a directive clarifying our procedures relating to this topic [non-discrimination], and from now on..."

I feel that adding the words in brackets is necessary as this is just the last sentence of his statement.
