All this MD80 unsafe bull****
Have been watching news on Television and internet the last five to six hours.Most of the Media seems to describe the maddog as an unsafe plane with a long accident list.There have been built nearly 1200 of them,and they have been around for 28 years.The MD80 accident rate (Fatal) was for many years approximatly the same as the A320 series and newer versions of 737,s.Since many of the maddogs are getting older,they are sold to operators with perhaps a less safety standard in the third world.But still an safety record of 0,24 accident in one million flights is still very impressive.
Should the media get away with this bull****,scaring millions of air travellers away from an aircraft which still will be in use for several years by major airlines?Since the hole industrie is suffering,and only a few makes money,this media made problem can get very serious.
