So, how do we, as average flyers REALLY know which airline is safer? If all the so called experts have trouble with this determination, how can we figure it out? And, is there a relationship between lower cost airline and lower safety levels?
(all these discussions do not include various foreign carriers with limited regulation or controls,they are different)
