In the US, the airlines had 3 hull losses and a fair few serious incidents in 2013.
US Airways @ PHL
Southwest @LGA
UPS @ BHX
Mercifully with only the loss of 2 lives. Nothing other than luck prevented that US Airbus from killing all on board.
Let's not get carried away. US Training is as poor as any in the developed world. By the time guys get to the Majors, however, they do have experience. Apparently that doesn't always count for a great deal.
