No fatalities since the start of the jet age is pretty good going, don't you think?
Pretty sure there have been fatalities since the jet age, as I said, just no crashes. Besides, I was correcting the myth, not besmirching their record. Second or third oldest airline I think, and a damn good safety record, albeit one that is has slowly slid over the last decade. You don't get a safety record that good through luck; although luck will play a good part.
We're getting off topic here, but Qantas has issues with an over unionised work force (a unionised work force isn't bad - in fact it offers a good level of protection to staff and standards and I think is required in a modern cut throat business world, but if you want to see over unionised screwed up messes, see crap like Rail, Bus and Ferry Union in Sydney or the corrupt Dockworkers Union for starters), slipping profit margins and efforts increase their efficiency, such as circumventing their overly expensive and overly unionised staff.
Bah, too off topic. My last post on the matter.
