Will it get you there alive is probably the question to be asking.
Yes, that's the first question I would ask and considering recent technical events, I'd have to think about it a bit.

However, assuming I decided that I had a pretty good chance of surviving such a trip.... what will make it any different from other Airlines that will probably get me there alive?

Maybe I have to be more blunt .... here is a scenario:

The aircraft is registered in Singapore
It has a Vietnamese technical crew
The aircraft was last serviced in Hanoi
The cabin crew are Thai
The fare is similar to Singapore Airlines

Will I buy a ticket just because it has a white rat on its tail?

Alan Joyce thinks I will !

Is that a very excellent business plan?
