There is no such thing as a financially safe airline in this country in this economy. They are all one crisis away from closing. Margins are too thin in the airlines, and most make money from associated services (scratchcards, and baggage charges for example). If you want financially stable go to the Middle East, or Russia. In the UAE there is money and will to use it to bring people into the place to spend it, and in Russia I reckon they would just plough on regardless of whether they pay their bills or not.
