Just to be fair, there have been some serious incidents with OA and Aegean airplanes recently, the OA ATR42 at santorini last year, the OA B727 rwy overrun in thessaloniki a couple of years ago, the Aegean damaging an engine during touch-down on an attempted landing at Rhodos last year in march in heavy southern winds .......

And if you look at the OA accident statistics including props the image changes... you should also take into account how large an airline is and how many passenger-miles it flies ...........

In any case I agree that there are some very good pilots flying around who
manage to operate safely in a very difficult environment.

Moreover, it is always the best pilots leaving Greece because they can not stand the working conditions here.
