Thank you for the additional information.
Had made the connection with the Black Sea incident. Recall the thread in R&N at the time, and agree it is not something that can be held against an airlines safety record.
Stated equipment for my flights are the TU154's, so I know what to expect. Be interesting to compare with Aeroflot Don's rather shabby TU154's (especially the one back in February, which I am sure had a pressurisation problem).
As for service ... it is Russia. Tend to go with the flow because there is no alternative. "Basic but acceptable" sounds fine to me!
