More Statistics
Swiss Cheese: Thanks, I'll mention an IOSA audit when I speak to the insurance company.
Using very rough numbers, Thailand looks to have had 1 crash in every 1.9 million commercial flights over the past 10 years. In the same period of time, the US seems to have had 1 crash for each 28 million commercial flights including Sept 11, 2001. The numbers for the US seem to be 1 crash in 55 million commercial flights excluding Sept 11. So, depending upon your view of including terrorist attacks, commercial flight in the US seems to be either 15x or 30x safer than in Thailand.
Does anyone have access to the better data, or anecdotal information?
EDIT: I think these numbers are missing 1 or 2 serious incidents in Thailand, such as nearly blowing up the PM in 2001. This would make the values very different.
