Who is still brave enough to fly Malaysian planes? 239+298+162 lives lost during the last nine months! A world record? | ||
To keep things in perspective, Air Asia has been operating for years, with a huge number of flights throughout the region and beyond every day, and this is the first time they lost a plane. | 1 | |
My son has a couple of series of flights with them from Sth Korea and I also have flights between Australia and Thailand. Malaysian Airlines is still going in spite of their 2 huge losses. Weather was supposedly a major factor in the AA flight and it isnt always such stormy weather. | 2 | |
I have booked a flight months ago for new years on Malaysia Airlines to Bangkok. I don't have plan to cancell. | 3 | |
i have been on many malaysian airline flights and i think its a great airline. but i have to admit that the loss of mh 370 (and not knowing what happened) quite unsettles me. yes, i would probably board another mh flight, but i would be very nervous about it. most probably not a reasonable reaction, but a reasonable gut feeling reaction. | 4 | |
You cannot avoid your fate. (Other than by trying to avoid preventable diseases by not smoking, only drinking alcohol in moderation and watching your diet) If you are destined to die in a plane crash, it will happen. So, if you think that's you - take the bus. But then again - plenty of people die in bus crashes. Do you really want to stay in your own backyard?. | 5 | |
