Or sitting on a 2 month old QF 737 with IFE in every economy seat compared to a 5 year old VB 737? (which I did today) Its easy to make generalisations. How about the fact that all QF 737's have HUDS and RNP approaches while a lot of VB 737-8's still circle to land at a lot of smaller airports? Aircraft age is not the only factor in safety, there are various other factors. Just like circle to land and non RNP approaches are not necessarily more dangerous either as a lot of pilots would agree, so lets stick with the facts not generalise. The fact is QF are making profits and VB are bleeding, these are the facts seriously.
