In the aviation industry, there is not a single person that trusts the JACDEC rating. Their analysis doesn't include training, the region where the airline operates and the causes of accident. As plenty of people here know, the most important aspects for a "safe" airline are training, maintenance ...

It just did, with a delay of 1 hour! I bet the Brussels government is already preparing the fine for the B747.

Further more, biometric cameras will be ...
