because Air France has a better safety record than many others? Better on a per-mile basis than, say, United or American? -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

I am more interested in accidents per trip than per mile. Long trips involve greater risk than short trips, all else being equal. The shuttle has the best safety record per mile ... Not if you count only powered flight. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

The main risk in aircraft occur during tale off and landings. Distance doesn't come into it. Operating time does. The shuttle has the best safety record per mile ... Not for powered flight. It's easy to achieve good safety when coasting. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |
