The one thing that I learnt when doing my BSc was that you can make averages and statistics mean anything you want to, depending on which side your personal bias leans.
If you we're to equalise the flights to the minimum random sample eg, around the 1600 mark, then it would be interesting to see how the positions change. Obviously, this would be hard to do due to the size of each airline and it's operations. But then you have to ask, is it really fair to compare FlyJet's 1166 flights with Thomsonfly's 18224? If you took a random sample of just 1166 Thomsonfly flights at any particular point in time, they may fair much worse or even better than they do in this table. And where are their bases of operation? An airline that mainly works out of Gatwick or Manchester, compared to one that uses much quieter regional hubs could be considered unfair aswell.
I'm not picking, just an observation to promote debate. I personally take these tables all with a pinch of salt. I am trying to be impartial here. I work for TCX, so that's where my loyalty sits. Hopefully we'll do better this summer!
Anyone care to offer a different view on this?

Your spot on with that about stats, Figures can be adjusted to favour any thing, so i always take these things with a pinch of salt. Am with you on TCX too. Any more news on the new A330 or B757-300's coming from Condor.
