Quite accurate. The QF1 Bangkok prang was the best thing that ever happened to Australian aviation. The clown who did it was the epitome of the old chest thumping ****** Australian pilot. They have largely gone from the airline industry.
I fly with the odd ace of the base (self proclaimed) but the absolute majority are refreshingly self effacing people.
As for the argument over where is harder to fly, it all depends on what you see as the biggest threat. I’d say the IOSA audit threat data would be the authority on the issue. We all have our opinions, based on personal perception. No country I fly in is much harder than others, they all have their threats that we manage as professionals.
