As JimL and SASless have said (in so many words), these figures need to be normalised to have any relevance.

Rick has simply listed the numbers of accidents per type, with no correlation to the hours done per aircraft type, nor the numbers of aircraft per type as a percentage of the total fleet.

It currently bears as much on the discussion at hand as does a list of car accidents which awards the 1920 Ford Model T the "safest car" tag because it's featured in less accidents than any other type in 2008

To continue to quote Rick's figures doesn't help this thread in any way that I can see
