Yes, but the fleet stands at 181 Airbus and 74 Boeing (just 777/747 so long haul only).

So a ratio of roughly 2:1 A to B and 75% of the Airbus are shorthaul so, statistically, more likely to have an event. I'm not trying defend AF but things have to be taken in context.

Perhaps more interestingly, the source for the above (Airlinefleets.net) shows they have written off 2xA300, 1xA320, 1xA330, 2xA340, 1xB737, 3xB747 and 1xConcorde ........... that's 11 aircraft.

I'm not sure what their definition of "written off" is....but are all the above accidents?

I stress I'm only relaying information from the above mentioned site - I have no idea as to its accuracy. The only ones I can't recall are the A300's and the Boeings - all the other well documented.
