Nothing wrong with low cost airlines just the newspapers putting up some hype about the employees working too hard. I've got a mate who works for them and he doesn't come home exhausted. Just some people (jealous maybe??) say they cut corners which i have yet to see proved. Some stats (can't remember where i got them from)
Fatalaties per million kilometres travelled.
Motorcycles: 110
Cars : 70
Trains: 17
Ferries: 5
Aviation: 0.01
So as you can see the most dangerous part of your trip by 7000 times is the trip to and from the airport.
