By the time there were c380 Max's built, two of them had already fallen out of the sky (despite operating for only a year). That's c0.5% of the fleet falling out of the sky every 12 months!
Still not too risky on an individual flight, but if you were a pilot across a 40 year flying career those odds start to stack up across your cohort!
Plus it's a bizzare safety stance to try and sell "So what their planes fall out the sky much more than our competitors... It's still safer than driving!"
Isn't it 1%? If the oldest of the 380 has been operating for a year and they were produced at an even rate, their average age should be six months.
I don't know much about car accidents, but 1%/year sounds like a lot. Can one even legally sell a car model if 1% of the cars are going to crash lethally in the first year? Or evne 0.5, or 0.2%?
