I myself have even assumed it was all OK again and booked a flight with them on the A380, not that knowing pilots would reassure me, we know an absolute party animal that flies international flights.

I dont know if the pilot thinking the plane is safe is a good guide, I mean in the recent inccidents the pilot would have thought the plane was OK then too, but it wasnt was it:huh:

On the A380 over Indonesia, it was a design/manufacturing fault in the RR engine and had nothing to do with the pilots or maintenance. No pilot, on any airline would have known that that engine was going to fail.

I think Qantas are a shit airline and are not my 1st choice but I have absolutely no problem with flying with them from a safety/quality viewpoint.

The only way to make sure that you are 100% safe when flying is not to.
