Right, ET also managed to put 787 on fire while there were others flying about without an issue. Sheer incompetency!
Seriously, what is the data which leads to "questionable safety record" conclusion ET? And please adjust for hijackings, unless you are going to claim somehow those are also ET's fault.
In reality, if you take out the recent MAX crash and the 96 hijacking, they have about 200 fatalities since 1948. Questionable safety!?
