Did I say that? Please reread my post. Carefully.
It’s a fools game to say who are better or worse...the Operating environment in Canada is a difficult and unforgiving environment and the accidents reflect that. Resolute - non-radar environment, mountainous terrain, no TAWS, flying around in true, 400 miles to the alternate, etc. Dryden - F28 with a broken APU, icing conditions on the ground, both engines need to be shut down to de-ice which would ground the aircraft.
