Uzbekistan have a superb reputation. They have a modern Western Fleet Boeing 767/757's, A310's and RJ-85's (not even sure they have the 154's anymore).
I have had the opportunity to meet some of their pilots, and were deeply impressed by their skills.
You might be pleasantly surprised if you try them.
They also have one of the best maintenance bases in Central Asia. Does JAR 145 ring any bells? I believe they can even do D checks now...
The Country might be going downhill but not surprisingly Karimov lavishes money on his pride and joy.
Don't think... Uzbekistan.. they must be bad... it's good you even asked... many wouldn't even think to.
Happy flying!
