Advantages: I feel 100% safe when flying

Disadvantages: None

As trained crew (but not crew) I feel 100% safe about flying either short haul or long haul.

Staff are highly trained with these big airlines including British Airways, Thomson, Thomas Cook, Easyjet, Ryanair, Virgin, Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Air Berlin, TUIFly, Luthansa, Emirates etc etc they are all highly trained and use similar aircraft types, most popular being Boeing & Airbus, 10s of 1000's of flights operate every single day on these types of aircraft so they must be safe otherwise we'd hear of a lot more accidents.

Crew are highly trained and must pass vigorious safety checks, security checks & thorough training before being allowed to fly both flight deck crew & cabin crew.

Legal requirements monitor airlines and for example crew hours, there is a very strict limit on the amount of hours crew members can work before they have to be given a minimum rest period this is a safety precaution and is so that in the extremely unlikely event of an emergancy the crew are fully awake and prepared to ensure passenger safety. This is sometimes why flights can be delayed, if a plane goes tech, then sometimes it impacts on the crew operating hours so standby crew have to be found to take over.

Summary: I Feel 100% safe when flying
