For those who don't know, Qantas once repaired a damaged aircraft that would've otherwise been a write-off for the sake of maintaining their perfect no hull-loss record.

Obligatory Qantas never crashed
Edit: spelling
No u in Qantas. It's an acronym. The Q stands for Queensland.
No u

To be fair it was cheaper to fix than buy a new one
It's only a matter of time Qantas, you're flying Boeings
In the early 90s, we called Aeroflot Aeroflop because they kept falling out of the sky. I think it was 40+ incidents from 90 to 91.
That's before Boeing started implementing no-holds-barred kapitalism, in an attempt to race to the bottom.
Meanwhile in the states. My parents used to fly me alone when I was 12 on an airline nicknamed Scare-West.
I'm pretty sure passengers of Air France flight 447 from Rio to Paris would have something to say about this meme, if they could still speak

When being on a Russian government backlist comes in handy
My favourite is, that they managed to hit a landmine years after the war
1976! = oh god
Is aeroflot the euro equivalent of Spirit in the US? Never heard any good stories about flying Spirit.
