May have been the safest. Doesn't matter. There were two disasters hitting the same airline - Malaysian Airlines - both of them spookier by orders of magnitude than your average flight calamity. And then, in the last days of the year, an Air Asia Airbus plummeting into the sea. That was out of Indonesia, but still... Psychology does matter. I remember my daughter, as hardnosed and rational individual as ever was, shortly afterwards going Air Asia in and out of Kuala Lumpur, and being slightly perturbed, however irrational she knew it to be.
