Fly AirAsia/Malaysia or Qantas or Do You Drive ?

Critical changes needed to reduce transportation accidents and save lives

Those who fly Malaysian Airlines or AirAsia, should consider Flying Qantas, the Safest Airline in the World, with Zero Fatalities. Qantas has never had a fatal jet airliner accident.  Before 2014, Malaysia Airlines had an excellent safety record.

There have been 761 deaths in 12 commercial aviation accidents globally in 2014, with a total of all Commercial Flying at 1320 lives lost.

The following 3 Flights - 699 lives lost

• Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 - unknown cause - 239 lost - 8 March 2014
• Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 - shot down - 289 aboard - 17 July 2014
• AirAsia Flight QZ8501- co-pilot at controls when plane crashed cause Pending - 162 lost - 28 Dec 2014

The Loss is great, in comparison to other Loss of Life Events

• Americans in Iraq & Afghanistan in 13 years since 2001 - 6,717 US Military died

• One year of Driving US Roads & Highways in 2012 claimed 33,561 lives - Since 1950 on US roads 2,696,343 fatalities

My conclusion would be that the Military is Safer, than Flying or Driving. 

Other Airlines should take notice of how Qantas does it, I do not think Luck is the Answer for Zero Fatalities.

Another thought why wouldn't more Commercial Pilots wish to fly for Qantas ?

"Fly Qantas Increase your chances of Survival" 

However if You, Family or Friends Fly what would be your choice.
