Yes, there's undoubtedly something to that hypothesis. On the flip side, there might be something to be said for the prevailing flying conditions during that period in either hemisphere; might the onset of the northern winter present more hazardous flying conditions than the onset of the southern summer?
Bottomline is that you need to careful when comparing statistics, very much more so when you start looking at smaller subsets.
