IIRC, they've since expanded their training to "the basics of flying a plane without the autopilot holding your hand" and "Here's how to not stall at 35,000 ft, and here's how to recover if you do."

The latter part about high-altitude stall recovery was, IIRC, previously absent entirely.

The stall was created by a completely inept pilot in the first place...


Air France and Malaysia Airlines are on my 'nope' list and the basic incompetence in AF447 is why.


MH had a truly awful year that year, but it's hard to blame them for MH370 and certainly not for MH17. Besides that, I think their track record is on the better side among global airlines.


Yeah, Malaysian is not a bad airline. Both of those losses were really bad luck that could have, and have, happened to any airline.

Not just saying that, I've flown with them twice over the last year and another booked in a few months. After SingAir and maybe Thai, I think they're among the best in the region.

LionAir and AirAsia, on the other hand, I wouldn't get on even if their tickets were free...
