Terrence,
   Well, now I've heard everything.
   Fatalities per flight hour?  Is that how surmised that airlines are no safer than GA? The sad thing is that I think you actually believe what you're trying to sell us.
   Let's talk accidents per flight hour between part 121 and part 91 operations, OK?
   If you choose to believe that airplanes or design deficiencies, rather than pilots, are causing all of these accidents, I guess nobody is going to stop you.  I fly for a living and like Jeff, I see the problem a lot differently.  
   I think it's time we put this thread to bed.  I know I'm done with it.
