Wouldn't be those pesky holes that pop up in the fuselages would it? :smile:Quote:

As a commercial pilot, not much scares me anymore. I have learned that no matter what you are flying, if the weather is bad, your odds get worse. I have also learned to stay with the big boys, I prefer Star Alliance, but the others work just as good, SkyTeam, One World, they've been vetted and must maintain certain standards. But who are we kidding, as airplane geeks, there is nothing better than trying a new airline and a new airliner type.
Kidding aside, stay away from ANY Indonesian carrier.

$1500 is a great price. Bene!
Very true. Def a plane designed with the pilots in mind and not pax comfort.Quote:

If anything, the 757 being so overpowere makes its performance better for passengers in getting to certain destinations and so forth.

Heard on the news this morning that 2011 was the safest year for Air travel but they also noted that Russian build planes are 7 times more likely to crash than western build planes.
As expected. Which news source? I'd like to quote it.
Because you can't get liquored up on board? :biggrin:Quote:
