I can vouch for the fact that Australian pilots are really like that.

Hey guys im an aussie and I can safely tell you all those "pilots" being interviewed are local comedians here. Though their sense of humour wouldn't be lost on an aussie pilot i can assure you we have some of the best trained pilots in the world (think Qantas - no fatal crashes - touch wood!!)

(think Qantas - no fatal crashes - touch wood!!)

Complete myth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Qantas_fatal_accidents

What actually IS true is Qantas has never had a fatal JET airliner crash. Which is, in itself, a pretty amazing record for a major carrier.

However somehow that has turned into the myth that Qantas has never had any fatal accidents at all which is patently untrue.
