Default China Airlines Safety

Actually, the safety of the flight depends on several things:

- Airport

- Airport staff

- Aircraft

- Maintenance crew

- Flight plan

- Flight crew

- Weather

And so on. Don't forget also stuff what your fortune cookies said.

Overall, airlines actually have little control at all over the safety
of the flight. An airline might accomplish ALL of the safety
standards, only to have the fault came from an even that is not
included in the safety standard.


For example in the case of the Gimli Glider, it was due to an error of
conversion, either that, or someone decided to play a practical joke
by only filling the tank halfway full. Was it the airline fault?

And then there's the element of sabotage. Just pay someone to
intentionally to loosen some bolts or fill the tank barely filled. Was
it the airline fault?



As for China Airlines.

The current move is to defame China Airlines, until China Airlines are
refomed by somekind of 'saviour' or 'saviouristic' move.

China Airlines are currently getting this mark below:

It's up to you if you feel lucky though.



As for safety.

Rely safety on God.

If it isn't for the love of God, most airlines jets would crash
everyday. Most of the airlines with 'good safety records' probably
have many close calls for most of its flights.

So... I wouldn't trust on the safety record of airline companies, good
or bad. Nor safety standard, since if disaster strike, it strike, no
matter how much safety rules are followed.

Of course these days if you rely on God and always thinking of God,
chances are you will be labeled as a scarecrow and a potential piggy
back rider.



As for Airbus and airlines in China.

Well... Any crashes with the A3'4'0, will be blamed as Airbus' fault
by the Chinese, that's why Airbus is promoting its A3'8'0.

And that's why people think that that Boeing 7E7's release number will
be 7'8'7 or '8'0'8', considering it's going to be part Japanese.

Yes. They mixed aircraft in their fleet that had various operating manuals
referring to pounds, kilos, gallons, imperial gallons and liters. Then, they
didn't train their crews properly.

There's a great book about it all.
