Is there a link somewhere to the full report?

The newspaper article seemed to be biased towards aircraft fires.... in which case I would agree with the conclusions.

But I was under the impression that statistically a rear-cabin seat gave you a better survival chance overall.

Anyway, I shall be taking a few flights again in a fortnight, so I'll let you know how I got out in the 'rejected take-off / overrun / short landing due to ice in the engines / veering off the runway' accident/incident I will undoubtely be involved in, knowing my luck.
