OZ is on my "avoid list" for now.

Looked on avherald. In the last 6 or so years, OZ has had:
* 2 crashes
* 2 tail strikes
* 1 instance of taking off without clearance
* 1 instance of a plane that ran off the runway
WAY too many incidents that point to pilot incompetence. Airlines like UA on the other hand...the only things I see are things like turbulence caused injuries, engine shut down in flight, etc. Nothing that makes me believe the pilots are idiots.

All of that, and, only ANA appears to fly direct.
