More like the Jack&*^ index!

I'm sure this list has done the rounds a few times before, what is the point of it anyway? There are so many reasons why an airline might incur a hull loss, and even that isn't always directly related to loss of life. Plenty of cases where even large aircraft have been written off (BA38, AF358) without fatality, but I think you could argue there were significant differences in crew handling of those two cases in particular.

Car insurers do their percentage of blame, has anyone come up with an index like that for airlines, and then multiplied by the RSK's actually flown, with each fatality divided by the number of years passed since it happened?

If our Jackass friends can do that, then fine, but I'm still more worried about the journey to the airport than the flight itself.
