accident rates chart inc. MAX
MAX is at the bottom because ordering is by year of introduction, order by fatal hull loss rate and MAX is almost at the top, the contrast with the NG line is stark.
Since the pilots are common between the two, there is something very different about the plane - either that or the iPad conversion course is really really damaging...
