You make up your own mind whether our Australian system of "SAFETY" is being compromised.
Having just watched in horror Air Crash investigation TV which this evening covered the Adam Air (Indonesia) Boeing 737 crash (loss of control in IMC because the crew hadn't a clue how to get out of a spiral dive of their own making) - it strikes me that although there may be occasional cock-ups by pilots and ATC in Australia, there is nothing - repeat nothing - remotely compared to the appalling flight safety record of aviation in Indonesia.
The slightest hint of a flight safety issue in Australia (whether real or imagined) attracts the Australian media like bees to honey - but beyond our shores the media frenzy quickly vanishes.
