March 19, 201412 yr Point taken. However, I would like to know you "put your money where your mouth is"...book yourself on one of these flights and let me know how it turns out. I suppose the Asiana KSFO crash was an example of Korea's finest when the pilot dropped the &@($*-end of that 777 into the sea wall. Was that incompetence or did the blocks just slip off the rudder peddles? There is a reason that the top carriers in that region go looking elsewhere for pilots..As for me, I will stick with Delta.

Not going there. Plenty of accidents with Us carriers where the crew has made errors of judgement as well. I agree the Asiana accident was extreme, but before you go advocating safety abroad, have a closer look at home, it will keep you just as busy. But to reinforce my point, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Sent from my Mobile thing Will Reynolds Flight Sim Addict
March 19, 201412 yr everyone is innocent until proven guilty. In a court of law, yes. But in the court of public opinion, fueled by a sensationalist media, people can be crucified on someone's speculation. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

Hook I agree Hook, but I thought the days of Harlem and people being burnt alive upon being proven "guilty" on hearsay were over. This is supposed to be the 21st century. Very sad indeed.

Luckily the media only understood that as an aborted takeoff from a wheel problem. What actually happened was much more interesting.
