Yes, that lot has been doing the rounds for several years, and over the times I have seen them, they have been attributed to many airlines and military services.

For the record, Qantas has never had an accident involving a jet aircraft resulting in loss of life or writeoff of the aircraft. They did put a 747-400 (VH-OJH) off the end of the runway at BKK and onto the golf course during a major storm, however the aircraft was repaired and is still in service. The repairs cost more than the value of the aircraft, but they can still claim to not have lost a hull from their jet fleet.
They did lose some prop aircraft back during the second world war with loss of life (Flying Boat enroute from PNG to Singapore from memory), and I also recall a F27 lost off the north Queensland coast, but that was way before airlines like Southwest were even considered. As the second oldest airline in the world (KLM started just before Qantas), their safty record is very good. But I don't know how any airline would be able to claim to be the safest - how do you measure that in a meaningful and consistent manner??
