If I recall, both Kaimai and Ruapehu were NAC. At least one Auckland one was TEAL (L-188). Apply the same logic to QF - well Tatars lost the odd one as well. And let us not forget the BKK golf course excursion. I tend to take these 'safest airline' statements as BS. It effectively rates a new start airline as optimal, with a 'there but for the grace of god' moment that can happen to any of us. VA should be top of that list also.
Takes another grain of salt.
