I think you misunderstood. I meant if it came down to choosing between carriers that have excellent safety record versus ones that have a poor record, I would choose the one with the better safety record even if their fares are higher than the one offered with the poor safety record.
For example if AC charges $1,200 for YVR-ICN while KE charges only $900 for the same route, I would opt for AC because their safety record is way better than KE's even though it would cost me an additional $300.
