Which top 10,50 or 100 Airlines are the best and the safest to travel on?
Added (1). I'm asking out curiosity because I want to learn from you, even if you all have different points of view. Will you include El Al Israeli Airlines among the safest in the world? Why? Why not?
All the big name ones with international flights that fly to the USA and Europe are pretty much equal.
With them, the average time between incidents, if you could live on a plane 24/7, is something like 450 years.
(That's not crashes, just things that need out-of-the-ordinary actions such as an engine failure).
Some airlines are banned from the USA/Europe - they are the ones with bad safety records or other problems…
These are ones to avoid:

Overall, "local" airlines with small planes have the highest likelihood of accidents, but they do make make many more flights (and so takeoffs & landings) per day than with intercontinental airlines.
Any airline is safer than traveling by car; there are more people killed on the roads each day than die in plane crashes each year - it's just that newspapers & TV are not all that interested in "routine" accidents, while they can make a big thing of a plane crash…
- Which airline companies pay their future flight attendants during their training, and which airline companies are unionized? I also wanted to know which airline companies pay their future flight attendants during their training time, as well as which ones pay for their housing whether it be at a hotel somewhere or not. And which airline companies pay their flight attendants the best and treat their employees the best?
- I want to take cash to Mexico what's the safest way? I'm going to Mexico around June and I'm gonna take a couple thousand dollars with me, I'm not going to put the money in the atm or cards because I want to exchange the money in the Mexico airport there I get the pesos, I will probably take two wallets in my pocket and dress to blend in and not attract attention, I've traveled alone once but traveled to Mexico by plane around 20 times I know how everything works, but what's the safest to take the cash
- How do airlines choose which planes to travel with? Like from Toronto to Cuba I took Sunwing boeing 737, but when I went again using Air Canada they used an Airbus A319. How do they decide? Like why wouldn't they use a boeing 747?
- If I'm 17, can I travel domestically with Delta airlines and have no problems? At age 17, can you simply purchase a ticket and fly to another state without having all sorts of consent papers and having to pay an employee with dreads to follow me around at the airport? You know that garbage where they have a high school dropout "assist" you to your seat.
