Are you claiming that QF isn't safe?
QF32 was a Rolls Royce problem, not a QF problem. Every other incident QF has had is something that happens to all airlines all the time. They only made the news because it was QF and the Australian press likes to bash QF. If the same thing happened on DJ/VA, the press wouldn't even blink.
