In 2006 I flew Alliance Air 737-200 within India. We landed so hard in New Delhi I was expecting to hear the brakes scrapping on the runway, we actually landed (bounced) 3 times (no joke) and the interior hadn't been worked on since the 70's, I expected the same for maintenance. As a commercial pilot, not much scares me anymore. I have learned that no matter what you are flying, if the weather is bad, your odds get worse. I have also learned to stay with the big boys, I prefer Star Alliance, but the others work just as good, SkyTeam, One World, they've been vetted and must maintain certain standards. But who are we kidding, as airplane geeks, there is nothing better than trying a new airline and a new airliner type.
Kidding aside, stay away from ANY Indonesian carrier.

Actually the landing was at night, IMC with a VOR approach. Yea, he was good for another 6 months!

@Phil... No, I am a spoiled. XM and Live TV or a first class seat to sleep in or I am driving. LOL

I will avoid the 757 when possible, although I am not fanatical about it. I just think it is the most passenger unfriendly plane Boeing has made. Too many passengers / rows in a single aisle configuration. On the flip side, I love the 767. I fly it to Europe frequently, and in coach it is about as good as coach gets.
$1500 is a great price. Bene!
And I, I took the path less traveled by
and that has made all the difference......yet...
I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

I don't quite see how the amount of rows in front of or behind you can affect your own comfort. The airlines pick the configs and it's otherwise the same as any 737 or mid-size Airbus. If anything, the 757 being so overpowere makes its performance better for passengers in getting to certain destinations and so forth.

Heard on the news this morning that 2011 was the safest year for Air travel but they also noted that Russian build planes are 7 times more likely to crash than western build planes.
Overheard on JFK TOWER - S Turns are fine, U-Turns are bad....
As expected. Which news source? I'd like to quote it.
