Hopefully ICAO will someday establish a global safety rating system for airlines.
Similar to your cars safety star rating. Punters will be able to consider something more important than just the lowest fares. If an airline is already banned from the EU then it gives a little heads up already.
Agreed - and it would be good to have info on minimum hours requirements for Captain and FO, and whether the airline operates P2F and P2Upgrade...
The FAA have acted with regulation in the US after Colgan. Maybe time for other regulators to follow suit.
