Is this true? During the tour today at Pearl Harbor the guide said the local airline has been operating for over 80 years and told us that QANTAS is no longer the safest airline to fly with as they had a fatal crash 18 months ago. I started to question him about it and he became hazy on the details. Before I write a letter to the museum, is he right? :confused:

He obviously forgot a very important part of that sentence,

Qantas had a fatal share price crash 18 months ago.

And it's continuing it this day... :}

Were they ever ?? Qantas has certainly had fatal crashes in the past, but all a long time ago. Mind you, if they keep up the industrial action they'll stay safely on the ground !!

There are lots of references out there, and different ways to pose and answer the question. Try these links to start with:
