Biman's Accident rate

I know absolutely no details about this particular accident.

When you consider how many DC10s, A310s and F28s they have (something around 15 aircraft TOTAL), their accident rate is appalling.

In the last 5 years they have seriously damaged or destroyed four aircraft to my knowledge (ie 25% of their fleet) and most of those were crew error.

Having flown with them on contract for 12 months, I am very clear why this happens - they are vastly over confident and display levels of arrogance that are truly scary. This is however offset by the good pilots who are as good as any in the world - sadly there are not enough of them.

Once again, good luck dictates there were no serious casualties.
