Lets all remember the Aussies are the "worlds safest airline pilots".... at least that is what I have read in the Aussie newspapers.
Yes and our government (Transport Canada) frequently claims we have the safest airline industry in the world. By default I presume they figure we pilots are pretty darn safe too. Personally I think this claim is false and no country produces enough proper and accurate statistical data to properly make this claim.
I am Canadian an I can tell you that both our industry, and our regulatory body are pretty messed up.
