Why not of it can hop. Doesn't it still have the best safety record in the world?
@FrayedBear, not according to the article, there air berlin (my birth place - of course, what else?) being in first place of a long list.
@walklightly only cos your lot or the Japs shot a few Quantas down. And the flying roo got best in last four years.
@FrayedBear, sadly i didn't get to benefit from the latter - didn't fly then. re "my lot": original sin anyone?
@walklightly Sin?! Cognitive dissonance. But don't worry, Adolf wasn't German.
@FrayedBear, so what does "your lot" mean when you use it?
@FrayedBear, besides, if i'd worry, it would be about your antagonistic attitude.
@walklightly You came out with Berlin Airways.
@walklightly aka barracking for the home team?
@FrayedBear, you provided the link to traveller.com.au, where i found the gen about air berlin etc.
Are you trying to give me nightmares and fear of flying phobia, FrayedBear? If so, you're succeeding.

Nah! They fly in their sleep. Note that when he woke up he immediately turned round and headed back. Autopilot like the joy of cruise control.
When you're gonna go you're gonna go!
