V1 OOPs ! :
Enough already, I'm not going to fly on Air France again.
I might take my chances flying on an air carrier based in, say, the Democratic Republic of Congo, or Equatorial Guinea, or OhMyGawdStan or some other blacklisted country like those, because the high accident rates in those countries are more or less evenly attributed across all the carriers from those countries.
... You get the point.
In this case, I suggest you take a look at American Airlines which has seen 2087 deaths (This includes the 1530 people who died on 11 September 2001) in the pâst twelve years against AF 327 ( Concorde and AF447).
I also suggest you take a look at Southwest- which seem to make a nasty habit of spectacular runway excursions and metal fatigue. But I give you that they are lucky. Two examples that come to mind. Am I alone ?
And ponder the fact that had the engines stuck on idle on that BA 777 done it just 30 seconds earlier, thre toll would have been quite different and the statistics not so glorious.
Thank God for his blessings !
I don't mind critics. Imbecillic chauvinistic points of view are something else.
