The 744 does not have a higher hull loss accident rate then the A340. As I stated earlier, the 744 hull loss rate is 0.75 hull losses per one million operations while the A340 is 0.92 hull losses per one million operation.
Depends on how Boeing want to portray their aircraft in their reports.
An equally valid way to portray the same data would have been to compare :
The entire 340 series to the entire 747 series.
The entire 320 series to the entire 737 series
As they all share the same TCDS.
