Is Qantas safe enough?
This story made Yahoo's front page - apparently Qantas flight attendants aren't confident that the planes they're flying on are safe. Pretty scary...

Overall airline safety is no laughing matter. But seeing all this news lately about the safety of Quantas, brings some humor to this subject. It keeps reminding me that in the movie Rain Man, Dustin Hoffmans character (Raymond), reminds his brother Charlie (Tom Cruise),that the only airline not to have crashed is Quantas. Then refuses to get on the other airline, because Quantas doesn't fly to their destination.
I believe that with all the cost cutting going on in the industry, Quantas shouldn't be singled out. I believe that this subject should apply to every airline. And yes it is scary in my opinion.
