Why DO THE BRITISH AND AUSTRIALIANS THINK THAT QUANTAS IS THE ONLY MAJOR AIRLINE TO NOT HAVE A FATALITY?

Question

JUST FOR THE RECORD SOUTHWEST AIRLINES HAVE NEVER HAD A FATALITY IN THE 30 YEAR HISTORY THEY HAVE BEEN IN SERVICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Maybe not, but this isn't exactly a safety record that's due to diligence and good management, more so luck..wouldn't you agree?

Three F.A.A. inspectors testified that their agency had allowed Southwest Airlines to fly uninspected planes, and that the airline had continued to fly the planes even after it later found cracks in some of them.

The inspectors said that when they complained, their bosses threatened their jobs and discouraged them from pursuing safety problems.

One was removed from his job as an office manager and another was encouraged to apply for a transfer. A third, Charalambe Boutris, was temporarily removed from his role overseeing Southwest after complaints from the airline.

Oh and in 2007 a SW plane ran through fencing and onto a road killing a child occupant of an automobile.

Answer 2

I really don't know why we do, but then again it might have something to do with the danger of air travel, maybe.

Answer 3

What job position do you have with Southwest, please?

Just for the record, you understand!

Alun

Answer 4

Perhaps, but Qantas is an international airline, from what I can see Southwest only flies internally in the US.  If the British & the Australians were flying within the US I'm sure they'd give a d*mn.

Edit: to reiterate my point, why would we care about an internal airline in the US?  If you will post in the UK section some useless piece of trivia about an airline none of us will ever use, you should expect to take some flack.  

I've never heard a Brit or an Aussie talking about safety records, for the most part they're concerned about costs.  The only person I've ever heard discuss Qantas' safety record is a fictional character in a film

Answer 5

South west airlines are known to treat their passengers no better than dogs.

Answer 6

Calm down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
