I've asked a few people in recent times whether they knew who was at the helm of QF (current) & do they consider QF still to be safe. Now I was careful to ask those that had little if anything to do with aviation such questions. Several said QF was too risky to fly with & only one knew who runs QF & that he (Darth) made him money via shares.
Obviously the media with the recent QF failures have had an impact on QF's so called safety to the general public. And 'Darth' has only impressed one sector, the shareholdres, to hell with the rest of you lot at QF most likely !
Anybody else asked none aviation friends such Q's? Am curious as we (pilots, engineers CC etc) all know the real answers but we are obviously in the know & the minority but what of the ones that fly to get somewhere instead of for a living?
A once well respected Co. is now under the spotlight, not with us in the know but with the very ones that provide the funds to keep it going, the flying public.
