Davy - I am in agreement with Sober Lark. You don't seem to understand the incidents.

The incidents you mention - were they incidents? Yes. Were they 'near death' incidents? Absolutely not.

Do other airlines have their fair share of incidents? Yes they do. Ryanair, being the largest operator in Europe and operating around 1600 flights a day over the summer season, of course, statistically will have more incidents than smaller carriers - just like BA will lose more bags at Heathrow than any other carrier, simply because they are the biggest carrier there.

I am not a supporter of MOL or they way he treats staff or suppliers and the way some customers are treated - but as a Captain I will defend the company's excellent record when ludicrous comments about near death incidents are exaggerated out of all proportion.
