Sorry, Denise. I'm just being a mother hen. I do that when it comes to hearing horror stories about what passes for air transportation sometimes. Trust me, I was even looking close at Tahiti Nui's safety record before I took the RSSC air for our PG cruise!! It's that we pilots at United go through so, so much training, all year long, to make us the safest we can be and it's not easy and I know not all outfits do that--in fact, very few and especially outside the country, thus my protective tendancies. However, one would assume Regent would check into such things if part of an official excursion.b(tho, I would still be cautious if something doesn't sound right)
PS--on these international flights I fly, many of the flight attendants are "relics of the 60s" too, and some earlier. Several are 70+ years old. I view the manifest on every flight and still see numerous bithdates in the late 1930s through 40s.
