damned good record in anyone's book, regardless of what the detractors may

closest to beating this record...)
Southwest Airlines.
Southwest Airlines is an airline, not airliner. He was asking
for a model of passenger airplane.
Got it. But they still have the best commercial record of any (US-based
at least) airline ;)
