Korean Air
A few years ago Delta ended code sharing with Korean due to safety concerns. Now Korean is part of Skyteam. Has Korean's safety improved that much, or are we just taking $$$.

The big issue with KE was poor cockpit management--a lot of Captains with, "Don't question me!" attitudes.
KE have been doing a lot of work on their cockpit management, and word is that there has been improvement.

DL removed the code-sharing to limit their liability in the case of another KE accident -- which was smart on their part.
Personally, I'd rate KE about the same as PIA in terms of safety.
Just another way SkyTeam is serving us better...
