Can you define "successful"?

AirAsia has history of mechanical failure and human error | Daily Mail Online
From a crash that killed 162 to a pilot flying in the wrong direction... and 9 YEARS as the world's best budget airline: Troubled history of AirAsia - after a pilot told passengers to 'PRAY' for a safe landing after engine failure
An AirAsia plane flying from Perth to Kuala Lumpur was forced to turn back
The pilot reportedly discovered a single engine failure and returned to Perth
It has been described as one of many mechanical issues suffered by the airline
In 2014 a A320 plane crashed after a high-altitude stall killing 162 people
There have also been near-collisions, skidding off runways and human errors

The guy thought he had something valid to say, then spent two pages defending it. Sounds legit to me. 🙄

(BTW - will the flag of convenience argument be used against them if they start flying to the States? I mean they have AirAsia, AirAsiaX, AirAsia Cambodia, AirAsia China, AirAsia Vietnam, AirAsia India, AirAsia Japan, Indonesia AirAsia, Indonesia AirAsia X, Philippines AirAsia, Thai AirAsia, and Thai AirAsia X.
