Hi,

Just a tought about accidents rates (or types) and any statistics related
It's indeed a fact (solid like a rock) that the rate of accidents is lower than in the past .. in relation with a greatest traffic than in the past.
Anyways (less the pilots and the experts in accident investigations or in statistics of all kinds ) the last judge is the customer.
And for the customer .. it's not important to know (or he don't bother) of such very good statistics.
The fact is (if the accidents rate stay at it is today) .. the number of accidents will go growing with growing traffic ..
So it will be feel by the public that is more accidents so .. less safety in the air....
And the public (customers) have a greatest weight than the other side (experts and statisticians)
Can the public accept (exagerated on purpose!) 1 accident by week with a average of 200 victims .. even though statistics indicate that everything is perfect and that the accident rate is stable or declining ?
Methink the traffic problem (like births worldwide) will be solved by itself in a natural way .. auto regulation ..
