What airlines wouldnt you fly?

Crap reasoning....fair point

[FlyingPhotog]

I won't fly the national airline of any country ending in "stan" Don't hate me, maybe I'm narrow-minded, but it's just scary with the way things are over in the middle-east. Besides I have absolutely no reason to go to any of those places.

Eddie, your signature seems to state your view, but I for one think it's disgraceful.

Not at all. First, SQ & MH are my favourites, as for QF, they got a very good safety record. The rest, hmm, they are pretty good too, but i'm not likely to fly with PR & any CAAC & of course, i wouldn't fly with TWA & UTA too .

Most of the reasons people have given for not flying this airline or that airline hinges around what the cabin service is like.

Airlines perceived as unsafe quite often really are not unsafe. Airlines flying into countries like Canada, the U.S., Britain and Australia must meet minimum maintenance requirements. In Canada Transport Canada regularly shows up at an aircraft and does an inspection on the aircraft and if they find a problem it has to be corrected before the aircraft departs. This doesn't only apply to "third world" airlines. AC was inspected one day in SYD and the government inspectors ordered repairs before AC034 could depart (QANTAS MTC actually had been contacted before the aircraft had arrived in SYD).

Airlines like China Airlines and Korean Airlines have other problems such as cockpit resource problems. There are many cases where the 1st Officer has noticed a problem, but not told the Captain because in their culture the Captain is the boss. We have seen more than one accident because of this. Airlines such as Korean have made changes to the way pilots interact with each other by hiring Delta Airlines to work on their CRM (cokpit resource management).

My 2 cents.

I also wouldnt fly any small South American airline.

Indian Airlines: Well WE do care.
So I, for one would like to kindly ask this nonsense to stop. Once again I find it necessary to wade in and try and restore the peace. This really is getting very petty and time wasting. Are you lot trying to get this thread locked. Because your really going full steam at that conclusion. Take a step back, look in the mirror, whatever is going to make you have a reality check and think to yourselves; why am I ranting for pages and pages about something I don’t have to prove. Do you care that much about what people think of you? Are you that self-conscious? No your not, so get over it, and stop wasting your life posting utter crap on message boards. This goes to all of you who find it so difficult to stop a situation getting out of control. The fact that we (the crew) find we have to write you these posts is very tedious. But honestly unless you show some maturity and respect for other users it will continue, until you push it that little bit to far and you’re going to get your asses banned. But hey if your happy with going down that road I suggest continuing your worthless flaming posts……Big brother is watching

This post is not directed at anyone in particular. I don't feel names being mentioned is the right way to go.......for now. You guys know who you are. Shape up or stfu.

I am in no way defending Burns, but why do you all care? Take his word for what it is worth...

If you think he is arrogant, then just try to ignore him. Many people today are arrogant or ignorant, but you can't waste your time worrying about them.

We don't need another 10 page flame-fest right now...

We really don't care (and it's not like I don't believe him when he posts some information, I'm sure it's true), but bullshit like this...

Statements like that make you seem jealous of the rights that I and some of us have

...makes you sit up and take notice.

I'd fly on any airline!

[indian airlines]

he's never gonna admit that his favorite airline might not be perfect.

Already have done that several times.

Oh, and hello Mr. Burns Jr.

Statements like that make you seem jealous of the rights that I and some of us have, like PT, Torin, etc. Just because you cant fly for free or nearly free doesnt mean you have to make fun of people. So what if my dad works for NW etc. Funny though, when FLYCHS asked about Delta interiors, I gave him the answer before the news release. Hmm, I must have looked in the crystal ball for that answer. No, I simply asked my uncle, just because you dont have people in your family that works for an airline, doesnt mean that you have to go around making stupid jokes like that. Pretty sad you go or say you go to Princeton and have spelling errors like this:

Burns I had suspected it but know I know for sure.

You ACTUALLY think people are jealous of you! Just because daddy flies for Northwest doesn't turn us green with envy...reality check.

Sure we are jealous, but we are jealous of different people...people who actually do things for themselves, not those who bask in their dad's/uncle's glow. We are jealous of (and we admire) people like Chris Kilroy, Anthony Jackson, Laxet and the list goes on...

Also, find ONE post on this forum saying that I go to Princeton University. I just live there (the town of Princeton), and I'm damn lucky, because it's a lovely place.

Oh, and most people here have no beef with PT, Pete, Assghanistan, and the tons of other people who actualy work in the airline industry.

Chris, if you think people on this board make fun of you because you get to fly for free...wrong. Do you see people humiliating PT? Torin? or Pete? It's because of your arrogance, ignorance, and never shutting up about NWA.

Arrogance and ignorance- Show me! Just because I use NW as an example for most things, because im more familiar with anything doesnt have anything to do with never shutting up.
