Used to fly a lot between 78 - 82 on BA - in that time, at least one engine failure (stuck in Perth), one plane out of commission (stuck in Bombay), 3 tyres blown on landing (stuck in Perth). I've had less trouble on Qantas in the last 5 years.

As previous poster mentioned, Qantas gets a disproportionate amount of press
when something goes wrong, even minor.

And as I have said before, at least when something does go wrong, the people up front have some experience to call on and seem to get the plane down in one piece.

Why don't you go and fly airlines from Indonesian.
