It's inevitable. Even airlines that are not low-cost cut corners wherever
they can. A review of the actual work schedule of, say, pilots could be
interesting, as might an inventory of all maintenance performed on aircraft
that isn't absolutely mandatory under law.


So how many crashes have there been among low-budget airlines, compared to the
major carriers over the last 5 years? You're more likely to die in a car crash
on the way to the airport.

well, always true so pretty irrelevant in comparing airlines


Except to make the point that your choice of transport to the airport will have
far more bearing on the risk you face than your choice of airline.

Eg taxi to airport then flight with the airline with the best safety record, is
more risky than train to airport then flight with the airline with the worst
safety record.

But still irrelevant when comparing airlines(which we were), rather than
comparing the whole journey (which we weren't).

You know me, always polite and amiable :-)
