Oh of course, if an airline has not had a major hull loss that automaticaly makes them safe, correct?? Umm, totally incorrect. If you believe that QF should be in the top 10, you are way off the mark. Safety is not simply calculated based on hull losses, it runs a bit deeper than that. My old man is 91 and has never crashed his car, does that make make him a safe driver? No way, not by a mile, he is lucky, come close, and is a danger to society on the road, but hey - he hasn't pranged a car yet!
Sorry to disapoint some of you but a lack of a major accident does not in itself make an airline safe.

P.S These 'lists' a normally a complete load of ****e anyway.
