Knowing nothing about the practicalities of the role etc could I ask a question ?

So they ignore the fact that 4 aircraft captains independently chose to make decisions that, with the benefit of hindsight, MAY be debatable,
If there are a large number of aircraft all following the same basic guidelines on calculations on fuel loads, for broadly similar routes etc, what are the chances that the only four aircraft to 'have an issue' are from the same airline ?

So, are there so many such occurrences such that the incidence of Ryanair 'events' are statistically insignificant ?

Or is it that Ryanair are having these incidents at a rate which is statistically more significant which would indicate different factors being used in the calculations than other airlines?

Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, third is enemy action as Ian Fleming once said. Four times he didn't cover
