I had a bit of difficulty following the logic of your post Clandestino then I looked at something you wrote in another thread about yourself:
'my stupefying ineptitude at critical reasoning'.
I think that sums up your last contribution pretty well. The size of the aircraft and its route structure is missing the point.

In the last eight months two MD11s have been written off and at least two seriously damaged. A total of 200 were built. Obviously there are less in service now counting the four previous write-offs and those being repaired or in storage. But keeping it simple 2/200 is one percent. There are around 6000 Boeing 737s. Yes they do crash, but apparently not at the same rate as MD11s. If we knew why there is such a difference, it might allow a few more colleagues to spend Xmas with their loved ones to use the emotive language of our cabin crew correspondent a few posts earlier.
