Is it just me being very stupid or is this table a crock of shyte?
Airline accident ratings
The last column refers to; Above/below average accident rate. Well, to me, if your average accident record is high, e.g. Delta at +538% then you need to have a very serious rethink about owning and running an airline and we should all avoid flying with them, whereas China Airlines and Turkish Airlines have an unbelievably good record at -469% and -106% respectively. I'm afraid the compiler needs to do some basic study of stats analysis and compilation.
AA Rudder departure has been done to death, sorry for the inappropriate pun, in another, very long and somewhat tedious thread. Suffice to say, if I am in my skidding car on an icy road if I swing the steering wheel from full lock left to full lock right and repeat the exersise (how many times was it, 4, 5?) until I lose complete control of the car then I will be very lucky to walk away from it unscathed. Bad practice, plain and almost simple.
And as for the invite to call me stupid for not understanding the stats table or the ability and wisdom of the FO in question, feel free; I've been called worse on here.
