I don't know. One member posted that insiders know not to fly Korean or Indonesian airlines 'and a few others'. Since they were not named but a link was provided, I'm just drawing my own personal conclusions from that. I have no special knowledge in regards to flying except how to be a passenger. I don't know if Korea is unjustly singled out or rightfully singled out. I'd cross off my list any name that appears on that list a lot, unless I noticed that it was because of something like bird strikes, i.e. external forces. I'm not saying this is correct or even remotely intelligent, mind you. This is what we must resort to when apparently there is insider knowledge about airline safety that is not publicly available or is available in such a format that is probably too complex for the non-technical crowd to understand.

If Koreans are unsafe - why are they allowed to fly? Why wasn't this uncovered before? If this is such a known secret, why weren't the rest of us told? Why did the FAA even allow them to fly to the US?

And if that's not true, if that's a biased blanket statement, then should it be stated with such assurance?

What's the non-insider supposed to make of all this?
