13 ANSWERS


  1. Easy Jet (UK) Ryan air (UK) British Airways (UK) and Cathay Pacific are amongst the best airlines economically at the moment. The rest are badly affected by the fuel prices, especially Virgin Atlantic and American Airlines.


  2. FEDX and UPS and Southwestern the chances are real good they will be around in five years.

  3. Answer: The ones who are still going to be in business when you are ready to get hired. UPS, FedEx, and Southwest, for sure, American (probably), Delta (probably), Continental (probably) Alaska (probably), US Air (probably), United (probably). They're all OK and I wouldn't put my money on any others. Top choice: Southwest. Ask anyone who flies for them. They're the happiest overall and the company is in the strongest financial position of all of them.

  4. continental.

    nonstop makes it so much better.

    and its cheap, too.

  5. FED EX or UPS

    No passengers to be a pain in the butt, regular schedule. (very often day trips out and back) six days on, six days off. Extreme unlikelyhood of layoffs or other such nonsense once you're hired.

    Net Jets

    Six days on six days off. Small Jets. Lots of unique destinations and frequently time to spend in those destinations.

  6. one that has a good track record for not crashing

  7. well where to where

    well if it gonna be a generic question

    it

    1. Singapore Airlines

    No stranger to awards, Singapore Airlines snatched the overall Airline of the Year title for the quality of both its economy and premium class services. From top-notch food to friendly flight attendants, any long-haul flight on this airline, which flies more passengers every year than the entire population of Singapore, is bound to be a pleasurable experience.

    2. Thai Airways

    Jumping up from fourth position in 2006, Thai Airways came in second place overall. Famous for its in-flight service and well-dressed cabin crew, the airline also won the Best First Class Lounge award for its lounge at Bangkok Airport which includes a Royal Spa complete with sauna and yoga classes. Oh to travel first class!

    3. Cathay Pacific

    A former title winner, Cathay Pacific performed well overall ranking in the top four or five positions in almost every section of the survey. The flagship carrier of Hong Kong is also one of only six airlines worldwide to carry Skytrax's prestigious five-star rating.

    4. Qatar Airways

    A relative newcomer, Doha-based Qatar Airways has drawn plenty of attention for its international service. While economy class passengers are treated to excellent in-flight service, with the airline taking out the Best First Class Airline tag, it's the first class passengers who, as usual, remain king.

    5. Qantas

    Long celebrated for its exceptional flight safety record, Qantas has dropped from second place in 2006 to fifth place. Australia's leading airline, however, consistently performs well and its budget domestic carrier, Jetstar, was named the World's Best Low-Cost Airline.

    6. Malaysia Airlines

    Moving up three places from the previous year, Kuala Lumpur-based Malaysia Airlines also regained its crown for the world's Best Cabin Staff Award, snatched away by Thai Airways in 2006. Along with Cathy Pacific, it is one of only six airlines worldwide to hold Skytrax's five-star rating.

    7. Air New Zealand

    At last, New Zealand's flagship carrier has finally nudged its way into Skytrax's top 10. Long recognised locally for its quality passenger service, it's good to see this Kiwi icon taking on the world's best.

    8. China Airlines

    A surprising addition to this list is state-owned China Airlines, which in fact moved up two places from 2006. With its base in Taiwan not China, because of political tensions, passengers to and from mainland China must fly through a third port.

    9. Emirates

    Consistently cited as one of the world's best airlines, Emirates is the largest Middle Eastern Airline. Based in Dubai, most of its flight attendants are recruited from overseas.

    10. British Airways

  8. I like America West (US Airways)

  9. Singapore Airlines.  

  10. american airlines and US Airways

  11. AirTran!! Great customer service!!

  12. The one that hires you.

  13. Just 'editing' for "i know nothing"...

    I wouldn't say flying for Qantas Airways would be the best idea. If you've tuned into the news lately, Qantas has had a LOT of problems with their fleet (one Boeing 737-400, a few Boeing 767-300s and the worst one on the Boeing 747-400). All five(?) of these incidents occurred over just under two weeks and the public have started to lose trust in the airline.

    Also, many Qantas employees have been laid off recently (engineers have been protesting about their rate of pay) and the outlook for Qantas isn't looking good.
