Perhaps I should have been more specific. I'm aware of the fleet size differences. I'm refering to thier "recent" mishap history, i.e. the last couple of decades. Without having access to the AF incident database I can't quote the split, but annecdotal evidence suggests that it's way out of proportion.
The cause of the '99 B747 Madras mishap did not involve aircrew error to my knowledge and is therefore irrelevant.
They've also lost 707s, Caravelles, DC-4s, Connies etc, all equally irrelevant.
Or are they?
